Gotta Keep Movin'

Teachers, parents and politicians

They ridicule my wild ambitions

They say, "settle down son, live decently,

Or you'll rot in jail before your 23!"

They don't know their 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 doncha 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

But as for me I keep movin' on

The future's now, yesterday is gone

I never let nobody tell me what to do

And no matter what I'm gonna see things through
