You always hear the line
Not changed all that much but the point's made fine
As their forehead's wiped: "You're here just in time"
Always so contrived
All deus ex machina, roll my eyes
Saviour has arrived, always just in time

Just gotta stretch that tension until it pops
And your snacks all fall out 'cause flop, jaw won't close
On the edge of your seat, see
But me? My jaw won't drop, not a joke
Face gets slapped by my hand
Each time in pops the one person to un-jam
The predicament, I predicted it
When they first showed the bomb had a big clock on it
Writers need slaps 'cause they're stuck
In a stupid circle each time they write
You won't get me to gasp when the poor sap gettin' burgled
Doesn't get shot in the ass 'cause their neighbour swings by
With a flashlight and a lead pipe
My friend looks at me like "That's awesome, you know that?"
The "how" may differ
But things always work out in the end, just wish it was quicker

I'm waitin' for the line
When the problem's solved just before they die:
"Hope my pants are dry, you were just in time"
Gotta roll my eyes
Popcorn's never dropped, no relief to sigh (yeah)
Same damn script, you'll find, it's solved just in time (whoo!)

The same ev'ry time (same way unfurled, buddy, same lame way unfurled)
La-la-la-la-la-la-la, uh (same way unfurled, buddy, same lame way unfurled)
It should be a crime (same way unfurled, buddy, same lame way unfurled)
La-la-la-la-la-la-la, uh (same way unfurled, buddy, same lame way unfurled)

Just a movie, shouldn't make nerves pop
But when it's shit, I've the right to mock
There's a similar scene that keeps comin'
Kind of a flipped perspective on it
There's some goal or area or place to meet
And against time, the heroes have to race, stock scene
God, will their car or spaceship break down?
Like, damn, will the deadline pass? Easy to see
Trust me: might have to land their busted plane
In sev'ral bits, but there's no blood or pain
Sure enough, with only eight seconds
Left on the clock, they made it, nothin's made diff'rent
Hate when movies lead me on, scenes won't steer me wrong
If I've seen one before, then it's easy to see it more
Could say that it's my fault
I've watched movies a whole lot, hence I know the plot now

And hey, you may be right
I'll still say it sucks when I mouth the line
It'll come, so trite: "Made it just in time"
Really? Just in time? What a shock, I'm surprised
Might say that I'm gobsmacked, would be a lie
Have to roll my eyes when they're just in time

Yes, yes, yes, it's not the worst
Trope in film, there's lots that are worse
Shit sexist, too-long list, really hurts
That's not what I'm miffed 'bout, ya heard?
Rage isn't found, not one big swear word
Not worth that nonsense like fridgin' foreign girls
When it comes to triteness, it's the worst
Whenever it pops up, I'm thinkin' of a tweet
A frustrated sigh is all that comes, 'cause
Look, I can spy when it will happen easily, not hard
It's super-duper obvious, low bar
Scene is so telegraphed, brain is unscarred
Won't break in half or to small shards
Workin' out what's next, path is clear and large
So, although it's not the worst
Because there's never swerves, I'm gonna yawn hard like uh

I'm so sick of this tripe
It's never a shock when nobody dies
Ev'rybody's fine, they made it just in time
Made it just in time, never swerves from that shite
Sure sometimes it does, not enough, I find
Tension will not rise (yeah), shit's done just in time

The script is so lazy, uh, time's fine (yeah)
Time, time is fine
Time, time is fine
Time, time is fine
Time, time is fine
Time, time is fine
Time, uh, is fine
Time, time is fine
Yeah, film's still rollin'
Yeah
Uh, film's good on the whole, buddy
This trope is what blows
