15 Minutes - Tim Minchin

By now we thought that there would be

Jetpacks and flying cars

Robots to do the cleaning up for us

And help with the shopping

We’d all be famous for a bit

That’s what Andy Warhol said

Thought we’d all get our colored head

Well, the truth would rock him

He may be surprised to wake up and find

That we have weaponized humiliation

In the future everyone

Everyone will have their 15 minutes, 15 minutes of shame

15 minutes where they are unforgivable

Pick up your pitchfork and your torch

We’ll go hunt the monster down

But keep an eye out for uneven ground

We’ll turn on you if you stumble

Don’t need perspective or a heart

Leave humanity at home

Welcome to the glass house

Hope you brought your stones, are you ready to rumble?

I am scared to write anything that might

Upset my own tribe

But nevermind 'cause in the future everyone

Everyone will have their 15 minutes, 15 minutes of shame

(Uh-oh, uh-oh)

15 minutes where they are unforgivable

Irredeemable, inexcusable scum, fit only to be strung up

In the village square, I will see you there

I am scared to say anything that may

Be taken the wrong way, but fuck it, baby

In the future everyone

Everyone will have 15 minutes, 15 minutes of shame

(Uh-oh, uh-oh)

15 minutes where they are unforgivable

(In the future everyone, everyone will have)

15 minutes, 15 minutes of shame

(Uh-oh, uh-oh)

15 minutes where they are unforgivable

Irredeemable, inexcusable, unforgivable

Irredeemable, inexcusable, unforgivable

(15 minutes, 15 minutes, 15 minutes)

Irredeemable, unforgivable

Irredeemable, inexcusable, unforgivable

Irredeemable, unforgivable
