"What's Up?" lyrics

"What's Up?"
(originally by 4 Non Blondes)

30 years of my life and still
Trying 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
Of this brotherhood of men
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 am feeling a little peculiar
And so I wake in the morning and I step outside
And I take a deep breath and I get real high
And I scream from the top of my lungs, "What's going on?"

And I said, "Hey yeah, yeah, eh, eh, hey yeah, yeah"
I said, "Hey, what's going on?"
And I said, "Hey yeah, yeah, eh, eh, hey yeah, yeah"
I said, "Hey, what's going on?"

And I try, oh my God, do I try?
I try all the time, in this institution
And I pray, oh my God, do I pray?
I pray every single day for a revolution

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 am feeling a little peculiar
And so I wake in the morning and I step outside
And I take a deep breath and I get real high
And I scream from the top of my lungs, "What's going on?"

And I said, "Hey yeah, yeah, eh, eh, hey yeah, yeah"
I said, "Hey, what's going on?"
And I said, "Hey yeah, yeah, eh, eh, hey yeah, yeah"
I said, "Hey, what's going on?"

What's going on?
What's going on?
What's going on?
