About this episode
A Ballad of the Headlines
0:00
The whole land held its breath to watch a screen
0:04
Two old men where younger men had been
0:09
The one in power, his voice a fragile thread
0:13
Leaving words and worries in his stead
0:18
The one before, with fire and with scorn
0:23
A promise of a different kind of morn
0:27
They traded blows on stages made of light
0:32
And left a nation wondering in the night
0:36
Oh, the wheel of fortune spins and spins again
0:41
Through summer heat and driving winter rain
0:46
A travelling soul has seen this tale before
0:50
The knock of history on a country's door
0:55
And the question hangs there in the heavy air
0:59
Who will mend the tear, and who will lay it bare?
1:04
Down in the city, in a hall of stone
1:09
A ruling from the highest court was thrown
1:13
Can a president be shielded from the law?
1:18
A question full of consequence and awe
1:22
For acts they called 'official' in their might
1:27
The scales of justice shifted in the light
1:32
And a line was drawn for all the world to see
1:36
Between a leader's acts and his immunity
1:41
Oh, the wheel of fortune spins and spins again
1:45
Through summer heat and driving winter rain
1:50
A travelling soul has seen this tale before
1:55
The knock of history on a country's door
1:59
And the question hangs there in the heavy air
2:04
Who will mend the tear, and who will lay it bare?
2:08
The sun beats down on the cracked blacktop road
2:13
You carry on with your own heavy load
2:18
You watch the headlines flicker on your phone
2:22
And feel both part of it and all alone
2:27
It's just another verse in a long, long song
2:31
About the difference 'tween the right and wrong
2:36
Oh, the wheel of fortune spins and spins again
2:41
Through summer heat and driving winter rain
2:45
A travelling soul has seen this tale before
2:50
The knock of history on a country's door
2:54
And the question hangs there in the heavy air
2:59
Who will mend the tear, and who will lay it bare?
