MC5

The MC5 was an American rock band from Lincoln Park, Michigan, formed in 1964. The original band line-up consisted of vocalist Rob Tyner, guitarists Wayne Kramer and Fred "Sonic" Smith, bassist Michael Davis, and drummer Dennis Thompson. "Crystallizing the counterculture movement at its most volatile and threatening", according to Allmusic critic Stephen Thomas Erlewine, the MC5's far left political ties and anti-establishment lyrics and music positioned them as emerging innovators of the punk movement in the United States. Their loud, energetic style of back-to-basics rock 'n' roll included elements of garage rock, hard rock, blues rock, and psychedelic rock. more »

Teachers, parents and politicians
They ridicule my wild ambitions
They say, "Settle down son, live decently
Or you'll rot in jail before your twenty-three"

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 fight 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, don't you know I'm free?
Gotta keep movin' baby, you and me, hey

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, don't you 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
As for me I keep movin' on

The future's now, yesterday is gone
I never let nobody tell me what to do
No matter what I'm gonna see it through

[Incomprehensible]
