[Verse 1]

A

  Twenty-five years and my life is still

  Bm

Trying to get up that great big hill

       D            A

Of hope for a destination

   A

I realized quickly when I knew I should

            Bm

That the world was made up of this brotherhood

     D                      A

Of man, for whatever that means

 

 

[Pre-Chorus]

           A

And so I cry sometimes when I'm lying in bed

         Bm

Just to get it all out, what's in my head

      D                          A

and I - I am feeling a little peculiar

          A

And so I wake in the morning and I step outside

       Bm

and I take a deep breath and I get real high and

 D                                            A

I scream at the top of my lungs "What's going on?"

 

 

[Chorus]

             A           Bm

And I said "Heyeyeyeyey Heyeyey"

         D                A

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

             A           Bm

And I said "Heyeyeyeyey Heyeyey"

         D                A

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

 

 

[Interlude]

A     Bm D   A

Ooh, Ooh Ooh

A     Bm D   A

Ooh, Ooh Ooh

 

 

[Verse]

        A                   Bm

And I try, oh my God do I try

               D                  A

I try all the time, in this institution

        A                    Bm

And I pray, oh my god do I pray

                     D

I pray every single day

           A

For a revolution

 

[Pre-Chorus]

           A

And so I cry sometimes when I'm lying in bed

         Bm

Just to get it all out, what's in my head

      D                          A

and I - I am feeling a little peculiar

          A

And so I wake in the morning and I step outside

       Bm

and I take a deep breath and I get real high and

 D                                            A

I scream at the top of my lungs "What's going on?"

 

 

[Chorus]

             A           Bm

And I said "Heyeyeyeyey Heyeyey"

         D                A

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

             A           Bm

And I said "Heyeyeyeyey Heyeyey"

         D                A

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

 

             A           Bm

And I said "Heyeyeyeyey Heyeyey"

         D                A

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

             A           Bm

And I said "Heyeyeyeyey Heyeyey"

         D                A

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

 

 

[Interlude]

A     Bm D   A

Ooh, Ooh Ooh
