A Wonderful Day In A One Day World - Lyrics by Peter Gabriel


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]
