25 years of my life and still,
Am                                        C                G
Tryin' to to get up that great big hill of hope, for a destination.

I realized quickly when I knew I should ,
         Am                                            C
That the world was made up of this brotherhood of man,
                G
For whatever that means.
          G
And so I cry sometimes, when I'm lying in bed
      Am
Just to get it all out, what's in my head, then I,
C                           G
I am feeling, a little peculiar.
          G
 And so I wake in the morning, and I step outside
      Am
And I take a deep breath, and I get real high, and I,
C                                            G
Scream from the top of my lungs, "What's going on?"

             G                  Am
And I say, "Hey yeah yeah hey, hey yeah yeah."
         C                  G
I said, "Hey, what's going on?"
        G                   Am
And I say, "Hey yeah yeah hey, hey yeah yeah."
   C                        G       ( G   Am   C   G ) (2x)
I said, "Hey, what's going on?"

      G                     Am               C                G
And I try, oh my God, do I try, I try all the time, in this institution.

       G                     Am                        C
And I pray, oh my God, do I pray, I pray every single day,
          G
For a revolution.
          G
 And so I cry sometimes, when I'm lying in bed
       Am
Just to get it all out, what's in my head, then I,
C                            G
I am feeling, a little peculiar.
          G
And so I wake in the morning, and I step outside
      Am
And I take a deep breath, and I get real high, and
C                                                    G
I, scream from the top of my lungs, "What's going on?"

            G                  Am
And I say, "Hey yeah yeah hey, hey yeah yeah."
        C                 G
 I said, "Hey, what's going on?"

             G                  Am
And I say, "Hey yeah yeah hey, hey yeah yeah."
        C                 G
 I said, "Hey, what's going on?"

        G                  Am
And I say, "Hey yeah yeah hey, hey yeah yeah."
        C                 G
I said, "Hey, what's going on?"

             G                  Am
And I say, "Hey yeah yeah hey, hey yeah yeah."

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

G                                  Am                                      C

           G
