I woke up this morning, the sky was blue

Gonna take it easy, got nothing to do

Ain't going to work, no bills to pay

It's a perfect day



Then I slipped on the soap as I got in the shower

I'd turn on the lights, but there was no power

Could this happen to me? Is this starting to be

An obstruction day?



We can send a man up to the moon, a satellite to Mars

We've got microwaves and Ladyshaves and supersonic cars

There's so much money in your pocket it don't matter who you are

'Cos there ain't no way to delay an obstruction day



I went for a drive but I wasn't alone

Too many people jamming the road

I'm gonna be late, I declare a state

Of obstruction day



Yeah, we can climb the highest mountain, tunnel right under the sea

We got mobile homes, mobile phones, digital pay TV

With all this technology we think that we are free

But there ain't no way to delay an obstruction day

Obstruction day



You can check it out with the weatherman, but you see the sun don't shine

Make plans if you wanna, and hope that it works out fine

You'll reach your destination but you won't arrive on time

'Cos there ain't no way to delay an obstruction day

No, there ain't no way to delay an obstruction day

Woah, there ain't no way to delay an obstruction day
