It's about to be hopeless Oh no, believe we're losing him now, son If we want to get through this mess With all your heart, believe, and try to speak loud, son About the only thing he'll reply Is "Oh no, there ain't no moving me now", son Oh no... Oh no... There ain't no movin me now Should we try to use force on him? Oh no, there ain't no flinch in his eye, son Then should we try to use force of tongue? Oh no, he ain't no man I despise, son But if we try to use forgiveness Maybe then, a heel might lift to the sky. Oh no... oh no... You know it's bound to get cold and lonely Old man, you can't keep shutting me out Oh no, there ain't no moving me now Oh no, there ain't no moving me now Oh no, there ain't no moving me Oh no, there ain't no moving me Oh no, there ain't no moving me now It's about to be hopeless. It's about to be hopeless.
