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 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
