Lyrics
One Way
Aint too hard its like child's play
And you don't even have to pay
Not greedy got to feed the needy
And there's nothing left to say cuz there's only one way
Some days, you know you just got to get away
Mondays get mundane & lax trade Tuesdays slacks
For Friday pants & fancy shoes
And dance the blues away
Sunday, go out to the country
Wade in the healin river, make you shiver
Wait up I'm goin straight up to shine on
Like the sun's rays and there's only one way
One-way... this sign you've got to know
One-way... can't go against the traffic flow
Used to rhyme "get on the bus with us" now I sing
"Let my people go" on the exodus,
out of the wilderness I hear the pilgrims say:
"One way one way or BUST"
my ambition on collision course with the television
and the radio DJ is in a dubious position
the truth in the newspapers tapers off even though
the front page says its all the rage
while the mainstream seats a regime with a supreme scheme
I mean to take it to the other extreme
Someday stylin on a tropical island
that's where I'll stay cuz the ticket's one way
Some people follow their own two feet
Some wind up walkin the wrong way down a one way street
Some ain't got enough food to eat
Some starve for something much more sweet
When the traffic light turns green, its gonna be a
Wonderful scene on the freeway of life
Break the gridlock with the Solid Rock
Hit the cruise control & coast all the way
One Way
