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

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

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, because 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

Because there’s only one rule that I observe

Time is money, and money I serve»

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

Have a wonderful day in our one-way world

One way, one day

One-way man, one-way mind

Get along with mankind

One-way man, one-way mind

Get along with mankind»
