Gabriel Peter A Wonderful Day In A One Day World 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]
