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 --- Gotta Keep Movin' - MC5
