Moving On
Mack & Diesel Lyrics

It's an old man's bluff
People may pretend to have authority or wisdom, but often it's just a facade.

Nothing in the world today
There's a sense of emptiness and lack of purpose in the world.

Nothing in the world today but lost and lonely pleasure
Although there are many ways to seek pleasure, they often leave people feeling empty and alone.

What can you say?
There are no easy answers to the problems facing the world.

What can you say to that?
It's difficult to find a response to someone's statement or question.

What can you do but bang your gong!
Sometimes the only thing you can do is make some noise and try to get people's attention.

Trick of the light
Things may appear differently depending on the situation or perspective.

Trick of the light of day
Things may seem different depending on the time of day or amount of light.

Trick of the light of day and darkness
Things may seem different depending on whether it's light or dark outside.

What can you do to that?
It's difficult to respond to something that seems illusory or not real.

What can you do but see your star
It's important to have a goal or a sense of direction, even if the path may be uncertain or unclear.

It ain't fair, young man's dream
Life may not always seem fair, especially when faced with the idealism of youth.

A young man's dream of life
Young people often have high hopes and ambitions for their lives.

A young man's dream of life and love
Young people often envision their ideal life to include both romantic love and personal fulfillment.

I feel the Earth is moving
There's a sense of unease or instability in the world.

I feel the Earth is moving faster
The pace of change and events seems to be increasing rapidly.

I feel the Earth is gonna shatter
There's a sense of impending crisis or catastrophe.

How do you feel?
Asking for someone's emotional response or opinion on a matter.

How do you feel now?
Asking for an updated emotional response or opinion on a matter.

How do you feel 'bout that, wise master?
Challenging someone who presents themselves as an authority figure or an all-knowing source of wisdom.

Laughing at the heads
Mocking those in power or authority.

Laughing at the heads that break and the idle millions
Not only mocking those in power, but also those who are oppressed or struggling.

Just last night, last night I was praying
Describing a recent experience or moment of personal reflection.

I was praying for the lonely
Expressing empathy or concern for those who may be suffering or isolated.

What can you say but answer me
Demanding a response or engagement from the listener.

Under my feet, under my feet I feel
Describing a physical sensation or experience.

Under my feet I feel the clay crumbling
Describing a sense of instability or uncertainty in one's surroundings.

What can you do, What can you do 'bout that?
Expressing a sense of helplessness or uncertainty in the face of a difficult situation.

What can you do but hey hey hey hey
Finding solace or comfort in making music or artistic expression.
