The 10 Second Rule Song

Let's say hypothetically you're watching an internet video (Oh)

Go with me on this

And let's say hypothetically that this video hits a snag (Oh)

Get a little buffer action

The video 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 at the beach one time

Put those rules to shame

In 10 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 got to start shaking the machine and the question is

How long are you going to shake this machine

Until you begin to eat 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

Every morning pizza on a Walgreens parking lot

Put those rules to shame

In 10 seconds

So you found yourself on a date with a beautiful girl

You try to tell her all the things that interest you in the world

Yeah, 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 ain't no thing

But how long can you let that silence hang (10 seconds)

You stare into space (10 seconds)

Try not to focus on that hair on her face (10 seconds)

You think it's something to say (10 seconds)

Just wait for the silence to go away
