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 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'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?"
