Ladies and gentlemen
we present to you
The Ten Second Rule Song
One, two, three...
Let's say hypothetically
you're watching an internet video
Ohh
go with me on this
and let's say hypothetically
that this video hits a snag
Ohh
you get a little buffer action
the video's froze
now you must choose
how long are you willing to wait?
10 seconds
before you click away
10 seconds
open up a new page
10 seconds
before you start to rage
10 seconds
sign up again and confirm your age
10 seconds
15 seconds of fame
and 5 seconds for that
burrito that you dropped on the beach one time
put those rules to shame
in 10 seconds
seconds... seconds... seconds...
So you're at work
and you got a little hunger pain you see
so you head down the hall to find the vending machine
and you press F-14 because
that's where the snack that you like resides
but when you press F-14 the coil gets stuck
and your snack is still inside
so now you gotta start shaking the machine
and the question is
how long are you going to shake this machine
until you begin to eat away at your own dignity?
10 seconds
your wife packed your lunch
10 seconds
carrots, hummus, and grapes in a bunch
10 seconds
It's just a bag of Fritos
10 seconds
do you really need those Fritos
15 seconds of fame
and 5 seconds for
that pepperoni pizza on a Walgreen's parking lot
put those rules to shame
in 10 seconds
seconds... seconds... seconds
So you find yourself on a date with a beautiful girl
you try to tell her all the things that interest you in the world
you talk about Harry Potter
she said she doesn't like wizards
you talk about your salamander
she said she doesn't like lizards
you try to stay quiet like it aint no thing
but how long can you let that silence hang?
10 seconds
you stare into space
10 seconds
try not to focus
on the errant hair on her face
10 seconds
you think of somethin' to say
10 seconds
just wait for the silence to go away
Oh
15 seconds of fame
5 seconds for
protein shake on a locker room floor
gross
put those rules to shame
in 10 seconds
seconds... seconds... seconds...
How long do you wait when you reset the internet router?
10 seconds
How long do wait before you give up on the hot water in the shower?
10 seconds
when you drop some food on the ceiling?
10 seconds
well how long can you hold your breath
before you get that oh I'm dyin' feeling?
claim a fart in a group
10 seconds
check your pants for poop
10 seconds
someone talkin' smack
10 seconds
come up with a comeback
10 seconds
give up on a fish that's floating
10 seconds
to decide this small little pond is not suitable for boating
Ohh
15 seconds of fame
5 seconds for that
trail mix literally on the trail
put those rules to shame
in 10 seconds
seconds... seconds... seconds...
10 seconds
