Ticket To Ride

Ticket To Ride

Verse 1

A whole lotta nothing

Nothing turned into something

Something you could have never imagined in your wildest dreams

Across the pond and into the belly of the beast

Faceless lads waiting in the wings for a feast

The throne is mighty, the throne is bold

If what you sell flies off the shelves

You'll collect gold

With white envelopes stacked up like mountains

And audiences tuning into the spectacle

A new mandate is created and fostered through the youth

Bridge 1

With barricades planted firmly on the ground

And being met by clamorous brunettes and blondes

The TV man is intrigued

And knows it could translate into gold

Verse 2

Charming poise and hypnotic hooks are in abundance

Wild crowds on the verge of overtaking the stage

Sweating like a pig as they're dressed in black

A thousand eyes on them

Some already on the attack

"They're great", "They're fake"

"They're overrated", "They're the sound of the future"

With white envelopes stacked up like mountains

And a barrage of questions being asked

The fraternity goes beyond chords and chaos

Bridge 2

With white envelopes stacked up like mountains

And delving into deeper matters

Their legacy continues to evolve into remarkable tales

While others seek crowns and minds to mould

Their status is steeped in gold

Chorus

The juggernaut is travelling at a hundred miles an hour

If you're oblivious to it, you'll get steam-rolled

With lights, cameras and acclaim

The focus is on those who cause others to act insane

Days of shock and despair gave way to the new madness

And it lingers in the senses of all

This is the ticket to ride into the hearts of a generation
