[Intro]
\n[Instrumental Intro: Pulsing Bass, Organ Swell, Muted Guitar Chops, Rising Synth Filter]
\n[Minimal Beat, Sub Bass, Spoken Vocal]<\/p>\n
Geee!
\nIs it a “Double Lifetime Guarantee”?<\/p>\n
[Instrumental]
\n[Bass Solo]
\n[Organ Stabs, Driving Bass, Snare March]<\/p>\n
[Verse 1]
\nYou sold it shiny new
\n(Factory sealed)
\nPromises wrapped in blue
\n(A crooked deal)<\/p>\n
Said it would last forever
\n(No need to fear)
\nBut forever keeps getting shorter
\n(Year by year)<\/p>\n
[Pre-Chorus]
\nI ain’t got that many lifetimes
\n(To count your mistakes)
\nCorruption, vice, and crimes
\n(Until man’s will awakes)<\/p>\n
[Bridge]
\nOr everything breaks<\/p>\n
[Build: Synth Arpeggio Rising]<\/p>\n
[Chorus]
\nA billion seconds
\n(Work twice my life)
\nFor your record reckons
\n(The fate of hate and strife)<\/p>\n
A billion seconds gone
\n(Just like that)
\nYour crooked ledger drawn
\n(In the aftermath)<\/p>\n
[Breakdown]
\n[Percussion, Sub Bass, Spoken Vocal]<\/p>\n
Now we know…
\n(This sh, sh, sha… it) show
\n(Has ga, gotta…) Go!<\/p>\n
Truth leaks out slow
\n(Through every crack)
\nThe longer you run it
\n(The harder the smack)<\/p>\n
[Instrumental \u2013 Synth and Organ Jam]
\n[Synth Solo \u2013 spiraling upward]
\n[Organ Solo \u2013 gritty and driving]
\n[Guitar Solo]
\n[Organ Stabs, Driving Bass, Snare March]<\/p>\n
[Verse 2]
\nYou stamped it \u201cguaranteed\u201d
\n(For life and more)
\nBut whose life you mean
\n(Is the hidden score)<\/p>\n
Double the promise
\n(Double the lie)
\nStacked to the heavens
\n(High in the sky)<\/p>\n
[Pre-Chorus]
\nI ain’t got that many lifetimes
\n(To watch the decay)
\nCounting your headlines
\n(Day after day)<\/p>\n
[Chorus]
\nA billion seconds
\n(Work twice my life)
\nFor your record reckons
\n(The fate of hate and strife)<\/p>\n
A billion seconds burn
\n(Into the night)
\nEvery page we turn
\n(Reveals the fight)<\/p>\n
[Final Breakdown]
\n[Percussion, Sub Bass, Spoken Vocal]<\/p>\n
Lifetime promise
\n(Printed in gold)
\nBut the truth behind it
\n(Is already sold)<\/p>\n
Double lifetime guarantee?
\n(We’ll see\u2026)<\/p>\n
[Outro]
\n[Minimal Beat, Organ Pad, Slow Bass Pulse]<\/p>\n
Tick\u2026 tick\u2026 tick\u2026
\n(Time keeps score)<\/p>\n
You can promise forever
\n(But never more)<\/p>\n
End of the endeavor<\/p>\n
[Double drum hit]

ABOUT THE SONG
\nIf you spent 40 hours a week counting at an average rate of one number per second, it would take approximately 133.5 years to reach one billion. <\/p>\n
Realistic speech rates: Some estimates suggest that because large numbers take several seconds to pronounce, the actual time spent counting (even non-stop) could exceed 100 to 200 years.<\/p>\n
The Million vs. Billion difference: At one number per second, you can count to a million in just 11.5 days.<\/p>\n
