Moving On In Life Songtext
von M.I.K.E.

I've had enough of this foolin' around
Being knocked down and playing the clown
This city life was never meant for me
I've got to get back to the country

So I'm going to spread my wings, fly away
I can't stay another day
I'm leavin' out of babylon
I'm movin' on

Come rally all my people it's time we move
Oh if you're stuck you got to groove
Come on and 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 the babylon
So listen to your heart to show you the way
Don't get caught up in hearsay


I've had enough of this foolin' around
Being knocked down and playing the clown
This city life was never meant for me
I've got to get back to the country

Cause everytime I go to town
I see the policeman 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 live a good life
But babylon just won't let us be who really want to be
And we've been troddin' for so long
How many more miles 'til we're free

I'm crying from the mountaintop
Oh babylon set my people free yeah


Can't the heathens see
I've had enough of this foolin' around
Being knocked down and playing the clown
This city life was never meant for me
I've 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 my man I must flee
I've got to get back to the country

So I'm going to spread my wings, fly away
I can't stay another day
I'm leavin' out of babylon
I'm movin' on

Spread my wings, fly away
I can't stay another day
I'm leavin' out of babylon
I'm movin' on
I'm groovin on
