25 years and my life is still
Trying to get up that great big hill of hope
For a destination
I realized quickly when I knew I should
That the world was made up of this brotherhood of man
For whatever that means
And so I cry sometimes when I'm lying in bed
Just to get it all out, what's in my head
And I, I am feeling a little peculiar
And so, I wake in the morning and I step outside
And I take a deep breath and I get real high
And I scream from the top of my lungs, "What's going on?"
And I say, hey-ey-ey, hey-ey-ey
I said, "Hey, a-what's going on?"
And I say, hey-ey-ey, hey-ey-ey
I said, "Hey, a-what's going on?"
Ooh, ooh, ooh

Ooh, ooh, ooh

And I try, oh, my God, do I try?
I try all the time, in this institution
And I pray, oh, my God, do I pray?
I pray every single day for revolution
And so I cry sometimes when I'm lying in bed
Just to get it all out, what's in my head
And I, I am feeling a little peculiar
And so, I wake in the morning and I step outside
And I take a deep breath and I get real high
And I scream from the top of my lungs, "What's going on?"
And I say, hey-ey-ey, hey-ey-ey
I said, "Hey, what's going on?"
And I say, hey-ey-ey, hey-ey-ey
I said, "Hey, a-what's going on?"
And I say, hey-ey-ey (wake in the morning and step outside)
Hey-ey-ey (take a deep breath and I get real high)
I said, "Hey, a-what's going on?" (And I scream)
And I say, hey-ey-ey (wake in the morning and step outside)
Hey-ey, yeah-yeah-yeah (take a deep breath and I get real high)
I said, "Hey, a-what's going on?" (And I scream)
