Lyrics

I'm a bad motherfucker, and I don't mind dying
Pure dynamite!
Through the thunder and lightning
Oh, the weather gets rough now
Ooh, you gotta hang on now, girl
When it gets real rough, rocky and windy
Hold on
On and on and on now
When they start throwin' fire
Chant, chant, chant you down now
Oh, you got to hold on and on and on
Ooh, you gotta hold on now, hey, hey
Oh, you got to come closer now, now
Who wants to survive now, babe?
Ah, you gotta hold on now
Love is on the way
Love is on the way
Love is on the way, oh
Don't let it go now, hey
Oh, even when your heart starts bleeding
Hand on the trigger now, y'all
Right now, my brothers and sisters
Keep on moving
Keep on moving
Keep on moving on
Keep on moving on
Keep on moving on
Keep on moving on
Keep on moving on
Keep on moving on
Keep on moving on
Keep on moving on
Good morning
Did you have a dream?
