And I Said Hey, What's Going On

Twenty-five 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 lyin' 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, yea, yea, yea, yea 
Hey, yea, yea 
I said hey, what's going on? 

And I say hey, yea, yea, yea, yea 
Hey, yea, yea 
I said hey, what's going on? 

Ooh, oooh, oooh 
Ooh, oooh, oooh 

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 a revolution 

And so I cry sometimes 
When I'm lyin' in bed 
Just to get it all out 
What's in my head 
And I, I am feelin' 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, yea, yea, yea, yea 
Hey, yea, yea 
I said hey, what's going on? 

And I say hey, yea, yea, yea, yea 
Hey, yea, yea 
I said hey, oh, what's going on? 

And I say hey, yea, yea, yea, yea 
Hey, yea, yea 
I said hey, oh, what's going on? 

And I say hey, yea, yea, yea, yea 
Hey, yea, yea, yea, yea,yea 
I said hey, what's going on? 

Ooh, oooh, oooh 

Twenty-five years and my life is still 
Trying to get up that great big hill of hope 
For a destination
