Buy The Ticket, Take The Ride Lyrics by John G. McDaid

Trail Of Mars

2020

Onscreen, offscreen
On the printed page
Everybody’s talkin'
Bout the problem of the age
It’s the death of wisdom
The debuff of expertise
The triumph of deception
That has us on our knees
Buy the ticket, take the ride
Nothing really matters but the ending of the show
Buy the ticket, take the ride
And you’d better look out below
Heads up, heads off
It’s all a grim display
No one's even watching
It doesn’t mattеr anyway
It’s a slow train comin'
The return of the rеpressed
The final disposition
Of the gently dispossessed
Buy the ticket, take the ride
Nothing really matters but the ending of the show
Buy the ticket, take the ride
And you’d better look out below
Nail gun, rail gun
Needle in your eye
Everybody’s runnin'
From what’s fallin' from the sky
It’s the Sixth Extinction
The Anthropocene
Forcing us to look at
All the things we wish we hadn't seen
Buy the ticket, take the ride
Nothing really matters but the ending of the show
Buy the ticket, take the ride
And you’d better look out below
Fulbright, half-bright
Be as clever as you like
Everybody ends up
With their head on a spike
It’s the Dolce Vita
The Angst und Schrecken Tag
Dancing through Gehenna
In a bloody epilogue
Buy the ticket, take the ride
Nothing really matters but the ending of the show
Buy the ticket, take the ride
And you’d better look out below
Gardyloo!
