About this episode
The Storyteller's Morning Report
0:00
The lamps burn late on Capitol Hill
0:03
The air is tense, the chamber's still
0:07
They're drawing lines, they're talking tough
0:10
Saying what they have is not enough
0:14
The Speaker's gavel tries to plead
0:18
To plant a different kind of seed
0:21
But the budget clock is ticking down
0:25
On another shutdown in the town.
0:29
And the headlines spin a weary tale
0:32
Of a ship that's lost its wind and sail
0:36
But I've seen this storm come 'round before
0:40
And heard it knocking on the door
0:43
It's the same old song, a different key
0:47
Just another page of history for you and me.
0:51
Then they gather 'round a glowing screen
0:54
To talk about the new machine
0:58
A mind of code and silicon thread
1:01
That learns the words inside your head
1:05
The tech kings come to testify
1:09
With practiced answers and a hopeful eye
1:12
They talk of progress, futures bright
1:16
While some see shadows in the light.
1:20
And the headlines spin a weary tale
1:23
Of a ship that's lost its wind and sail
1:27
But I've seen this storm come 'round before
1:31
And heard it knocking on the door
1:34
It's the same old song, a different key
1:38
Just another page of history for you and me.
1:42
Out west the sky is hazy red
1:45
The river's crawling from its bed
1:49
The summer heat came like a fist
1:52
A story told in smoke and mist
1:56
The farmer stares and hopes for rain
2:00
The politician speaks of gain
2:03
And the good earth groans beneath the strain
2:07
Of fire, flood, and hurricane.
2:11
And the headlines spin a weary tale
2:14
Of a ship that's lost its wind and sail
2:18
But I've seen this storm come 'round before
2:22
And heard it knocking on the door
2:25
It's the same old song, a different key
2:29
Just another page of history for you and me.
