Gotta Keep Moving

Teachers, parents and politicians

They ridicule my wild ambitions

Say, "Settle down, son, live decently

Or you'll rot in jail before you reach 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 making dope so soon

And sacrificed for mediocrity

Young men fightin' for democracy

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

Yeah, we are lookin' what's straight ahead

The future is now, yesterday is dead

Don't ever let nobody tell me what to do

No matter what, there's a way for you

I gotta keep movin'

Said, I gotta keep movin'

You know, I gotta keep movin'

I said, I gotta keep movin'

Said I, I-I-I-I-I

I gotta keep movin'

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, move, move

You know I gotta really move, move

I gotta move, yeah-yeah-yeah

I gotta move now

I said, come on, come on, come on

Baby, come on move with me, whoa!

Come on, yeah

Gotta move, move, move, move

Oh, move, baby

Come on now, move

I gotta move

Yeah-yeah-yeah-yeah, come on now

I want you to move
