Lyrics Peter Gabriel – A Wonderful Day In A One Day 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

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
