SONG: Late Night Radio
[spoken intro]
[late-night underground radio station atmosphere]
[slow ominous blues groove]
[warm tube-radio tone]
[male announcer voice]
[smoky noir jazz feeling]
[doomscroll blues mood]
This is Kay Gee Oh Dee — kay god, after midnight…
broadcasting from somewhere between
the headlines
and the nervous breakdown.
Tonight in Washington:
scattered indictments…
high winds of paranoia…
and another social media storm
moving in from the south.
Former associates writing memoirs…
lawyers billing by candlelight…
staff members backing slowly toward the exits…
And somewhere in the darkness…
another phone lights up
with the words:
“Can we still spin this?”
Stay indoors.
Keep your radio low.
And whatever you do…
don’t refresh the feed.
[music rises]
[verse 1]
Another courtroom Monday morning
another lawyer looking pale
another “perfect” explanation
another all-night posting trail
Another aide says “I’m exhausted”
another ally jumps the ship
another press conference goes sideways
another historical slip
[chorus]
Trouble…
stacking floor to ceiling
Trouble…
too bizarre for feeling
Every week another fire
every day another spin
everybody checking headlines
wondering what shape he’s in
[background vocals]
(Kay Gee Oh Dee after midnight)
(Kay God keeps broadcasting)
(Kay Gee Oh Dee after midnight)
[verse 2]
One day tariffs
next day memecoins
next day shouting on TV
next day “many people tell me”
next day legal strategy
World War Eleven in a sound bite
A-One sauce diplomacy
history teachers staring blankly
asking “can this really be?”
[spoken break]
This is Kay Gee Oh Dee, kay god News…
We interrupt this breakdown
for another breakdown.
Sources confirm
the situation has worsened
since the beginning of this sentence.
[music builds]
[final chorus]
Trouble…
echo through the nation
Trouble…
permanent rotation
Late-night signals keep on humming
through the neon fear and fright
Kay Gee Oh Dee keeps broadcasting
through the long American night
[outro spoken]
This is Kay Gee Oh Dee… kay god, the station that makes it,
the station that still reads the fine print.
Good night.
Good luck.
And keep your radio low.
