Lyrics

A minute,

A brief unit of time

A second,

Another brief unit of time

A half-life,

A metaphorical period of decay or decline

A minus,

A negative aspect or deficiency

A segment,

A distinct part or section

A blinder,

Something that obscures vision or understanding

Elective detention.

A voluntary confinement or holding back

It's secession time,

A withdrawal or separation, possibly politically

Paid for by cutting backwards.

Funded by retrogressive measures

It's election time,

A period of choosing leaders

Letting every insult become presidential injury.

Allowing insults to rise to the level of significant harm to the nation


(I'm begging you just hold my head up)

A plea for support or comfort in challenging times

This last disgrace,

A final act of shame or dishonor

Breathe in my face,

Inhaling the consequences or negativity

Bleed in distaste,

Experiencing discomfort or aversion

Bless this amen.

Requesting divine favor or approval

Your final lesson.

The ultimate teaching or revelation


A minute,

A repeated mention of a brief unit of time

A second,

Another repetition of a brief unit of time

A half-life,

Reiterating a metaphorical period of decay or decline

A minus,

Emphasizing a negative aspect or deficiency

A second

Repeating a brief unit of time

Reminder,

A recall or prompting

Selective attention.

Focused awareness or concentration

It's secession time,

A repeated mention of withdrawal or separation

Paid for by cutting backwards.

Funded by regressive actions

It's election time,

Another period of choosing leaders

Letting every insult be accepted into history.

Accepting insults into the historical record


(I'm begging you just hold my head up)

A repeated plea for support or comfort

This last disgrace,

A final act of shame or dishonor reiterated

Breathe in my face,

Reiterating inhaling consequences or negativity

Bleed in distaste,

Reiterating experiencing discomfort or aversion

Bless this amen.

Reiterating a request for divine favor or approval

Your final lesson.

Reiterating the ultimate teaching or revelation

(Now)

Expressing the present moment


This last disgrace,

Reiterating a final act of shame or dishonor

Bless this amen.

Reiterating a request for divine favor or approval

Final lesson.

Reiterating the ultimate teaching or revelation

(Now)

Emphasizing the present moment
