Seconds

All day
Hiding from the sun
Waiting for the golden one
Waiting for your fame
After the parade has gone
Outside was a happy place
Every face had a smile like the golden face
For a second
Your knuckles white as your fingers curl
The shot that was heard around the world
For a second
Refrain :
It took seconds of your time to take his life
It took seconds
(Refrain)
It took seconds of your time to take his life
It took seconds of your time to take his life
Seconds
Seconds
(Refrain twice)
For a second
(Refrain twice)
For a second
It took seconds of your time to take his life
Seconds of your time to take his life
For a second
For a second
For a second
