PRE-CHORUS:
And so I cry
sometimes when I'm lying in my bed;
Just to get
it all out, what's in my head.
Then 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, yeah, yeah! Hey,
hey! Yeah, Yeah!"
I said,
"Hey, what's going on?"
And I say,
"Hey, yeah, yeah! Hey,
hey! Yeah, Yeah!"
I said,
"Hey, what's going on?"
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.
PRE-CHORUS:
CHORUS: [2x]
Twenty-five
years and my life is still
Trying to
get up that great big hill of
Hope for a
destination...
