Peter Gabriel - A Wonderful Day In A One Day World lyrics

Saturday is shopping day and I drive my car but there's no place to park it,

No respect for supermen in the supermarket.

I guess there must be trouble but I've not been alerted;

Looking round the store, it was all deserted

And I'm stranded here with my empty basket,

So full of questions but nowhere to ask it.

[Chorus:]

By the one way out, strange voice shouts,

"Don't let that good man out!"

"Have a wonderful day in our one-way world,

One way, one day;

Have a wonderful day in our one-way world,

One way, one day;

One-way man, one-way mind, get along with mankind."

There's an old man on the floor so I summon my charm,

I say, "Hey scumbag, has there been an alarm?"

He says "Yeah, I been selling off eternal youth,

They all got afraid, 'cos I'm the living proof.

My name is Einstein, do you know time is a curve?"

I said, "Stop, old man! You've got a nerve,

'cos there's only one rule that I observe:

Time is money, and money I serve."

[Chorus]
