       [Verse] 
       
      Anthony smiles but the fire is lit 
       
      The morning host's jab just won’t quit 
       
      Questions flying sharp like a knife 
       
      Poking and prodding his political life 
       
      [Chorus] 
       
      Snap crackle the calm is broken 
       
      A nerve struck with words unspoken 
       
      Under the surface emotions brew 
       
      Can’t dodge awkward truth like you used to do 
       
      [Verse 2] 
       
      She digs her heels with a piercing glare 
       
      The budget's weak he’s caught in despair 
       
      His voice tight fists clench the air 
       
      The tension rising it’s everywhere 
       
      [Bridge] 
       
      The TV lights turn heat to flame 
       
      Public opinions a ruthless game 
       
      No rehearsed answer can save the day 
       
      But silence is deadly as a cliché 
       
      [Chorus] 
       
      Snap crackle the calm is broken 
       
      A nerve struck with words unspoken 
       
      Under the surface emotions brew 
       
      Can’t dodge awkward truth like you used to do 
       
      [Verse 3] 
       
      He takes a shot with a counterattack 
       
      His words bite hard there’s no turning back 
       
      The host’s grin fades her eyes wide 
       
      As combat plays on morning’s pride 
      [Verse 4] 
       
      He takes a shot with a counterattack 
       
      His words bite hard there’s no turning back 
       
      The host’s grin fades her eyes wide 
       
      As combat plays on morning’s pride
