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]
