What's Up? Songtext
von 4 Non Blondes

25 years and my life is 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 up of this 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 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 say, hey-ey-ey, hey-ey-ey
I said, "Hey, a-what's going on?"
And I say, hey-ey-ey, hey-ey-ey
I said, "Hey, a-what's going on?"


Ooh, ooh, ooh
Ooh
Ooh, ooh, ooh
Ooh

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 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 say, hey-ey-ey, hey-ey-ey
I said, "Hey, what′s going on?"
And I say, hey-ey-ey, hey-ey-ey
I said, "Hey, a-what's going on?"

And I say, hey-ey-ey (wake in the morning and step outside)
Hey-ey-ey (take a deep breath and I get real high)
I said, "Hey, a-what′s going on?" (and I scream)


And I say, hey-ey-ey (wake in the morning and step outside)
Hey-ey, yeah yeah yeah (take a deep breath and I get real high)
I said, "Hey, a-what's going on?" (and I scream)

Ooh, ooh, ooh
Ooh

25 years and my life is still
Trying to get up that great big hill of hope
For a destination, mm
