Gotta Keep Moving Lyrics - Singles - Mc5

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
