Move On Lyrics

Down in the mouth and not half right
But I can feel the changes comin' on
Bloom like flowers in bluest night
Bloom like the sunlight in my song

dumb dumb, dumb dumb, dumb
Dumb dumb, bay, dumb, dumb
Move on, move on, dumb dumb
Dumb dumb, dumb, dumb dumb, bay

All of the words you can't say right
Burn my ass with anger to no end
I love my country so much man
Like an exasperating friend

dumb dumb, dumb dumb, dumb
Dumb dumb, bay, dumb, dumb
Move on, move on, dumb dumb
Dumb dumb, dumb, dumb dumb, bay

Now, now, now, now, now
Now, now, now, now, now

Yeah, I believe the war is wrong
Don't believe that nations can be steered
Lead the world by smarts and compassion
By example, not coercion, force and fear

dumb dumb, dumb dumb, dumb
Dumb dumb, bay, dumb, dumb
Move on, move on, dumb dumb
Dumb dumb, dumb, dumb dumb, bay

Ads for the army on cable
Between ads for soda and skin cream
What about the kids you have signed up?
Do you really love them as you claim?

Now, now, now, now, now
Now, now, now, now, now

dumb dumb, dumb dumb, dumb
Dumb dumb, bay, dumb, dumb
Move on, move on, dumb dumb
Dumb dumb, dumb, dumb dumb, bay

Down in the mouth and not half right
But I can feel the changes comin on
Bloom like the flowers in bluest night
Bloom like the sunlight in my song

Cover art for Move On lyrics by Mike Doughty

This song contains all of the negative sentiment that Doughty had toward the first term of George W. Bush as well as all of the hope that he had for the 2004 election. What sound to merely be silly nonsense syllables are really repetitions of "dumb" (an adequate adjective for Bush and his policies) combined with "bay" as in "Guantanamo Bay."
