Movin' on Songtext

von Mike Love

I've had enough of this fooling around,
Being knocked down
And playing the clown.
This city life was never meant for me,
I got to get back to the country,
So I'm gonna spread my wings,
Fly away, I can't stay another day,
I'm leaving out of Babylon,
I'm movin' on.

Come rally all my people it's time we move,
If you're stuck you got to groove.
Shake the dust off of your bones,
You don't want to be left alone.
Cause we've been tricked and fooled for so long,
Held captive down in Babylon,
So listen to your heart it'll show you the way,
Don't get caught up in hearsay.

.

Cause every time I go to town I see the police man with his ticket book in his hand,
He says license, registration, and insurance please,
He already knows I ain't got none of these.
Cause I'm a natural dread just trying to survive,
Jah knows I ain't gonna work no 9 to 5.
But I got to provide for my youths and my wife
And make sure that they have a good life.
But Babylon just won't let us be
Who we really want to be,
And we been troddin' for so long,
How many more miles ‘til we're free? I'm crying from the mountaintop,
Babylon set my people free,
Why can't the heathen see.

I've had enough of this fooling around,
Being knocked down
And playing the clown.
This city life was never meant for me,
I got to get back to the country,
I've had enough of this mentality
That's poisoning all humanity,
It's rising all around me so I man I must flee,
I got to get back to the country.
