Gotta Keep Movin lyrics

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
