"A Wonderful Day in a One-Way World" by Peter Gabriel

Saturday is shopping day--
I drive my car but there's no place to park it
--no respect for superman in supermarket
I guess there must be trouble but I not been alerted
looking round the store it was all deserted and I'm
stranded here with my empty basket
so full of question got nowhere to ask it

  By the one way out
  strange voice shout
  "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"


Oh, there's an old man on the floor, so I summon my charm
I say "Hey Scumbag, has there been an alarm?"
he said "Yeh, '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 got a nerve
'cos there's only one rule that I observe
Time is money and money I serve"

  By the one way out
  strange voice shout
  "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-day man
  one-day mind
  get along with mankind"
