[Verse 1]
25 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

[Pre-Chorus]
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 going on?"

[Chorus]
And I say, hey-ey-ey, hey-ey-ey
I said, "Hey, what's going on?"
And I say, hеy-ey-ey hey-еy-ey
I said, "Hey, what's going on?"

[Bridge]
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
Oh, I pray, oh my God, do I pray
I pray every single day for a revolution

[Pre-Chorus]
And well I cry sometimes when I'm lying in bed
Just to get it all out, what's in my head
And I'm, 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 going on?"

[Chorus]
And I say, hey-ey-ey, hey-ey-ey
I said, "Hey, what's going on?"
And I say, hey-ey-ey hey-ey-ey
I said, "Hey, what's going on?"
And I say, hey-ey-ey, hey-ey-ey
What's going on?
And I say, hey-ey-ey hey-ey-ey
I said, "Hey, what's going on?"
And I say, hey-ey-ey, hey-ey-ey
I said, "Hey, what's going on?"
