Lyrics

[Verse 1]

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 this brotherhood of man

For whatever that means

[PreChorus]

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?"

[Chorus]

And I say, hey-ey-ey-ey-ey

Hey-ey-ey

I said, "Hey, what's going on?"

And I say, hey-ey-ey-ey-ey

Hey-ey-ey

I said, "Hey, what's going on?"

[Bridge]

Ooh

Ooh

Ooh, ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh

Ooh, ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh

Ooh

Ooh, ooh-ooh

Ooh, ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh

Ooh, ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh

[Verse 2]

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

[PreChorus]

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?"

[Chorus]

And I say, hey-ey-ey-ey-ey

Hey-ey-ey

I said, "Hey, what's going on?"

And I say, hey-ey-ey-ey-ey

Hey-ey-ey

I said, "Hey, what's going on?"

[Chorus]

And I say, hey-ey-ey-ey-ey (Wake in the morning and I step outside)

Hey-ey-ey (Take a deep breath and I get real high, and I scream)

I said, "Hey, what's going on?"

And I say, hey-ey-ey-ey-ey (Wake in the morning and I step outside)

Hey-ey-ey, yeah, yeah, yeah (Take a deep breath and I get real high, and I scream)

I said, "Hey, what's going on?"

[Bridge]

Ooh

Ooh

Ooh, ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh

Ooh, ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh, uh-huh

[Outro]

Twenty-five years and my life is still

Tryin' to get up that great big hill of hope

For a destination, mmm
