A song originally by Shel Silverstein, popularized by Johnny Cash. The song is about a man on death row on the day of his execution counting down the time to his demise minute by minute, from his last meal until the hanging.
Despite being very dark, the song is considered quite humorous due to Johnny Cash's hilariously animated music video to accommodate the fact that he would die if he tried to re-enact the execution.
Despite a blatant error near the end where he says "Seven more minutes to go," instead of "Four more minutes to go" (which was later corrected in the live version), the song was very well received. Johnny Cash's darkest songs tended to be his most amusing ones as well, after all.

Well, they're building a gallows outside my cell...and I've got 25 minutes to go
And the whole town's waiting just to hear me yell...I've got 24 minutes to go
And the whole town's waiting just to hear me yell...I've got 24 minutes to go

when a person or group of people claim to have all the aesthetics of punk mentality/diy, when in fact they do not know what they are talking about and are not actually true. they then abandon punk when it isn't relevant to them anymore.

Lyrics from the greatest song ever created, I’m not talking about the John Lewis version, but the original. On second thought, probably not the greatest song but in the top 3005.
"And if you have a minute why don’t we go…" sang the world as time paused in the aftermath of a new dawn
