What’s Up (What’s Going On)

Twenty-five 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

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 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 goin' on?"

And I say, hey-ey-ey-ey-ey

Hey-ey-ey

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

And I say, hey-ey-ey-ey-ey

Hey-ey-ey

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

Ooh

Ooh

Ooh

Ooh, ooh

And I try

Oh my God, do I try

I try all the time

In this institution

Oh, I pray (I pray)

Oh my God, do I pray

I pray every single day

For a revolution

And well 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 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 goin' on?"

And I say, hey-ey-ey-ey-ey

Hey-ey-ey

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

And I say, hey-ey-ey-ey-ey

Hey-ey-ey

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

(I said, "Hey")

And I say, hey-ey-ey-ey-ey

Hey-ey, hey, what's goin' on?

And I say, hey-ey-ey-ey-ey

Hey-ey-ey

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

(I said, "Hey")

And I said, hey-ey-ey-ey-ey

Hey-ey-ey

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