Key: D Major BPM: ♩ = 67 Time: 4/4
|A     |Bm     |D     |A     |
|A     |Bm     |D     |A     |

|A                                      |Bm                                     |
 Twenty-five years and my life is still, trying to get up that great big hill of
|D               |A     |
 hope, for a destination
 |A                                              |Bm                                      |
I realized quickly when I knew I should, that the world was made up of this brotherhood of
|D                    |A    |
 man, or whatever that means

        |A                                           |Bm            |
And so I cry sometimes, when I'm lying in bed just to get it all out
                      |D                         |A     |
What's in my head, and I, I am feeling a little peculiar
        |A                                             |Bm                                    |
And so I wake in the morning, and I step outside, and I take a deep breath and I get real high
   |D                                              |A   |
And I scream from the top of my lungs, what’s going on?

          |A               |Bm               |D                |A   |
And I say, hey-ey-ey-ey-ey, hey-ey-ey, I said hey, what's going on?
          |A               |Bm               |D                |A   |
And I say, hey-ey-ey-ey-ey, hey-ey-ey, I said hey, what's going on?

|A     |Bm     |D     |A     |
|A     |Bm     |D     |A     |

     |A                  |Bm                |D                 |A     |
And I try, oh my god do I try, I try all the time, in this institution
     |A                   |Bm                       |D           |A     |
And I pray, oh my god do I pray, I pray every single day, for revolution

        |A                                           |Bm            |
And so I cry sometimes, when I'm lying in bed just to get it all out
                      |D                         |A     |
What's in my head, and I, I am feeling a little peculiar
        |A                                             |Bm                                    |
And so I wake in the morning, and I step outside, and I take a deep breath and I get real high
   |D                                              |A   |
And I scream from the top of my lungs, what’s going on?

          |A               |Bm               |D                |A   |
And I say, hey-ey-ey-ey-ey, hey-ey-ey, I said hey, what's going on?
          |A               |Bm               |D                |A   |
And I say, hey-ey-ey-ey-ey, hey-ey-ey, I said hey, what's going on?

          |A               |Bm               |D                |A   |
And I say, hey-ey-ey-ey-ey, hey-ey-ey, I said hey, what's going on?
          |A               |Bm                     |D                |A   |
And I say, hey-ey-ey-ey-ey, hey-ey-ey-ey-ey, I said hey, what's going on?

|A                                      |Bm                                     |
