 Saturday is shopping day-
   |                          |                     | 
 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 not been alerted

 looking round the store it was all deserted and I'm

A6                               
 stranded here with my empty basket

 so full of questions but nowhere to ask it

   By the one way out,     strange voice shouts

[Verse 2] (1:38-)

 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"

   one way, one day" (repeat three times)
