Gotta Keep Movin'
Teachers, parents and politicians
They ridicule my wild ambitions
Say, "Settle down, son, live decently
Or you'll rot in jail before you're 23"
But 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
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
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
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 it through
I gotta keep movin'
Said, I gotta keep movin'
You know, I gotta keep movin'
Said, I gotta keep movin'
Said I, I-I-I-I-I
I gotta keep movin'
Said, I gotta keep movin'
I-I-I gotta move
I-I-I gotta move
I-I-I gotta move
I-I-I gotta move
Yes, I gotta keep movin'
Come on, gotta keep movin'
Baby, come on move with me
Come on, move, I said move
Yeah-yeah-yeah-yeah
I gotta move now
Yeah-yeah-yeah-yeah
Oh yeah, come on, babe
Oh yeah, move, move, move, alright
So come on now, ah whoa
Move, babe, whoa
Move, babe, whoa
They ridicule my wild ambitions
Say, "Settle down, son, live decently
Or you'll rot in jail before you're 23"
But 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
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
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

I gotta keep movin'
Said, I gotta keep movin'
You know, I gotta keep movin'
Said, I gotta keep movin'
Said I, I-I-I-I-I

Said, I gotta keep movin'
I-I-I gotta move
I-I-I gotta move
I-I-I gotta move
I-I-I gotta move
Yes, I gotta keep movin'
Come on, gotta keep movin'
Baby, come on move with me
Come on, move, I said move

Yeah-yeah-yeah-yeah
Oh yeah, come on, babe
Oh yeah, move, move, move, alright
So come on now, ah whoa
Move, babe, whoa
Move, babe, whoa
