PETER GABRIEL lyrics : "A Wonderful Day in a One-Way World"

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."
