[Tim Minchin, The Born Woke Youth Theatre Collective - 15 Minutes lyrics]

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 coloured head
Well the truth would rock him

He may be surprised to wake up and find
That we have weaponised humiliation

In the future, everyone everyone will have
Their 15 minutes 15 minutes of shame (shame)
A 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 humility at home
Welcome to the glasshouse
Hope you brought your stones
Are you ready to rumble?

I am scared to write anything that might
Upset my own tribe but never mind, 'cause

In the future, everyone (future)
Everyone will have 15 minutes
15 minutes of shame 15 minutes where they

Are unforgivable irredeemable
Inexcusable scum (scum, scum, 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
15 minutes where they are unforgivable
15 minutes 15 minutes of shame

15 minutes where they
Are unforgivable, irredeemable inexcusable
Unforgivable, irredeemable inexcusable
Unforgivable, irredeemable inexcusable
Unforgivable, irredeemable inexcusable
Unforgivable, irredeemable inexcusable
