1. 25 years of my life and still, tryin' to to get up that great big hill of
C G
hope, for a destination.
I realized quickly when I knew I should ,
Am
that the world was made up of this brotherhood of
C G
man, 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
C G
I, I am feeling, a little peculiar.
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?"
Am
And I say, "Hey yeah yeah hey, hey yeah yeah."

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