Obstruction Day Status Quo 1999 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.

À propos de la chanson

La chanson parle d'une journée où tout semble aller de travers, même lorsque l'on prévoit de profiter d'un moment de détente. Le protagoniste se retrouve confronté à une série de petits désagréments, comme une panne de courant ou un embouteillage, qui rendent la journée absolument chaotique. Malgré les avancées technologiques et les grandes réalisations de l’humanité, il fait le constat que certaines situations échappent à notre contrôle, et ces moments de désordre peuvent gâcher nos plans. Le contexte évoque un sentiment universel : peu importe nos préparatifs et nos ressources, il y aura toujours des imprévus qui nous rappellent notre vulnérabilité. Cette journée maudite devient finalement une métaphore de ces petites désillusions qui parsèment notre vie quotidienne.
