Twenty-five years and my life is still
Tryin' 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 a brotherhood of men
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'm feeling a little peculiar
And when I wake up in the morning and I step outside
And I take a deep breath and I get real high
And I scream at the top of my lungs
"What's goin' on!?"
And I said, "Hey-ey-ey-ey-ey, hey-ey-ey"
I said, "Hey! What's goin' on?"
And I said, "Hey-ey-ey-ey-ey, hey-ey-ey"
I said, "Hey! What's goin' on?"
Ooh
Ooh
Ooh
Ooh, ooh
And I try, oh my God, do I try
I try all the time in this institution
Oh, I pray (I pray)
Oh my God, do I pray
I pray every single day for a revolution
And well I cry sometimes when I'm lying in bed
Just to get it all out, what's in my head
And I, I'm feeling a little peculiar
And when I wake up in the morning and I step outside
And I take a deep breath and I get real high
And I scream at the top of my lungs
"What's goin' on!?"
And I said, "Hey-ey-ey-ey-ey, hey-ey-ey"
I said, "Hey! What's goin' on?"
And I said, "hey-ey-ey-ey-ey, hey-ey-ey"
I said, "Hey (I said, "Hey"), what's goin' on?"
And I said, "Hey-ey-ey-ey-ey, hey-ey, hey! What's goin' on?"
And I said, "Hey-ey-ey-ey-ey, hey-ey-ey"
I said, "Hey (I said, "Hey"), what's goin' on?"
And I said, "Hey-ey-ey-ey-ey, hey-ey-ey"
I said, "Hey! What's goin' on?"
