     A   
     25 years of my life and still,     
     Bm                                        D                A   
     Tryin' to to get up that great big hill of hope, for a destination.     
       A           
     I realized quickly when I knew I should ,   
              Bm                                            D   
     That the world was made up of this brotherhood of man,    
                          A   
     For whatever that means.   
               A   
     And so I cry sometimes, when I'm lying in bed   
            Bm   
     Just to get it all out, what's in my head, then I,    
      D                           A   
     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 I,   
         D                                         A   
     Scream from the top of my lungs, "What's going on?"   
   
                  A                  Bm   
     And I say, "Hey yeah yeah hey, hey yeah yeah."    
             D                  A   
     I said, "Hey, what's going on?"   
                 A                   Bm   
     And I say, "Hey yeah yeah hey, hey yeah yeah."   
       D                        A       (A   Bm   D   A) 2X   
     I said, "Hey, what's going on?"   
    
           A                     Bm               D                A   
     And I try, oh my God, do I try, I try all the time, in this institution.   
   
            A                     Bm                        D   
     And I pray, oh my God, do I pray, I pray every single day,   
               A   
     For a revolution.   
               A   
     And so I cry sometimes, when I'm lying in bed   
             Bm   
     Just to get it all out, what's in my head, then I,   
      D                           A   
     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 from the top of my lungs, "What's going on?"
