Gotta Keep Movin’

Lyrics

Teachers, parents, and politicians They ridicule my wild ambitions They say, "Settle down, son, live decently Or you'll rot in jail before you're twenty-three" They don't know they're stuck in the past Can't stop me now 'cause I'm movin' too fast Presidents, priests, and old ladies too They'll swear on the Bible what's best for you Atom bombs, Vietnam, missiles on the moon And they wonder why their kids are shootin' drugs so soon Young men fightin' for democracy And sacrificed for mediocrity I can't stay in one place for too long a time I get stone bored, I go outta my mind I'm here and I'm there and don't you know I'm free? Gotta keep movin', baby, you and me Hey I can't stay in one place for too long a time I get stone bored, I go outta my mind I'm here and I'm there and don't you know I'm free? Gotta keep movin', baby, you and me People wakin' up, but they've just begun To realize what needs to be done As for me, I keep movin' on The future's now, yesterday is gone I never let nobody tell me what to do No matter what, I'm gonna see things through
