[Intro]

[Leo]
"Good evening. Tonight: has debate gone too hostile?"

[Maya]
"Yes. Let's ask who keeps making it hostile."

[Verse 1]

The camera turns. The producer's voice goes sharp:
"Wrong line, Maya." She sets the folder down to start.
Leo sees the label. His face goes pale.
The control room scrambles to cut the tale.

[Chorus]

We're not covering the fight, we're booking it,
Writing where the anger goes and hooking it.
We choose the chairs. We choose the frame.
Tonight we're saying every name.

[Verse 2]

Maya holds Gary's card: "EXPERTISE: drives a car."
She holds the scientist's note: "Too calm. Pair with a star."
Leo says, "Maya, people do disagree."

[Maya]
"Yes — and when they don't, we build the enemy."

[Chorus]

We're not covering the fight, we're booking it,
Writing where the anger goes and hooking it.
We choose the chairs. We choose the frame.
Tonight we're saying every name.

[Bridge]

[Leo]
"I'm just asking questions."

[Maya]
"Then answer one:
if a guest is calm, why force the anger?"

[Leo]
"I don't run production."

[Breakdown]

[Producer]
"Go to break!"

[Engineer]
"No."

[Producer]
"Cut the feed!"

[Crew]
"No."

[Final Chorus]

We're not covering the fight, we're booking it,
Every cue, every cut — engineering it.
We chose the chairs. We chose the frame.
Tonight the credits carry every name.

[Outro]

The ON AIR sign stays red.
Leo pulls his earpiece. Maya shuts the folder.
For once, nobody fills the silence.

Four chords. Complete.
