Deadlock Songtext

Deadlock Songtext
Mr. President
While you′re counting TikTok views and crowd sizes
The Strait of Hormuz is still a mess
The ceasefire keeps shaking
The deal keeps slipping
And the world keeps waiting
You said it'd be quick, said it′d be neat
Shock and awe, victory speech on repeat
Now the headlines look different every week
Everybody talking, nobody got peace
Iran says bases are fair game now
Washington says calm down somehow
Ceasefire signed but the missiles still fly
Everybody says progress while the markets ask why
You called Bibi crazy, that's breaking news
Brother, half the world already knew
Years of handshakes, praise and applause
Now you're discovering all of the flaws
The phone call got heated, tempers ran hot
Funny how reality changes the plot
When the man you backed starts moving alone
And your peace plan feels like a cracked cell phone
Everybody talking tough on TV
Everybody claiming victory
But if we′re winning like they say we are
Why does the finish line keep moving so far?
The ball′s in your court now
That's what they′re saying
The clock keeps ticking
The world keeps waiting
You wanted a deal, you wanted a win
Now the whole thing's stuck where it′s always been
No victory parade tonight
No mission accomplished light
Just another headline in the morning sun
And the questions ain't done
The advisors said negotiations froze
That′s not exactly how a breakthrough goes
Everybody standing on opposite sides
Looking at the river instead of the bridge
Red Sea Hormuz, shipping lanes tight
One bad decision changes every price
Oil moves nervous, traders don't sleep
One spark turns a warning into something deep
You promised leverage, pressure, and force
But pressure cuts both ways, of course
Every time the deadline comes and goes
Another crack begins to show
The world ain't listening to slogans now
People want answers and a why and how
′Cause strength ain′t measured by a louder voice
Sometimes it's measured by a wiser choice
The ball′s in your court now
That's what they′re saying
The clock keeps ticking
The world keeps waiting
You wanted a deal, you wanted a win
Now the whole thing's stuck where it′s always been
No victory parade tonight
No mission accomplished light
Just another headline in the morning sun
And the questions ain't done
Mr. President
You called Netanyahu crazy
Iran says the ball is in your court
The ceasefire still shakes
The deal still drifts
And the world is still waiting
So here's the question
If everybody else is the problem
Why does the deadline keep following you?
While you′re counting TikTok views and crowd sizes
The Strait of Hormuz is still a mess
The ceasefire keeps shaking
The deal keeps slipping
And the world keeps waiting
You said it'd be quick, said it′d be neat
Shock and awe, victory speech on repeat
Now the headlines look different every week
Everybody talking, nobody got peace
Iran says bases are fair game now
Washington says calm down somehow
Ceasefire signed but the missiles still fly
Everybody says progress while the markets ask why
You called Bibi crazy, that's breaking news
