 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 turned 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, to see if 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
 Great blues song this.
