Lyrics and Chords:
-----------------
Verse 1:
-------
A
Twenty-five years and my life is still
Bm
Trying to get up that great big hill
D A
Of hope for a destination
A
I realized quickly when I knew I should
Bm
That the world was made up of this brotherhood
D A
Of man, for whatever that means
Pre-Chorus:
----------
A
And so I cry sometimes when I'm lying in bed
Bm
Just to get it all out, what's in my head
D A
and I - I am feeling a little peculiar
A
And so I wake in the morning and I step outside
Bm
and I take a deep breath and I get real high and
D A
I scream at the top of my lungs "What's going on?"
Chorus:
------
A Bm
And I said "Heyeyeyeyey Heyeyey"
D A
I said "Hey, what's going on?"
A Bm
And I said "Heyeyeyeyey Heyeyey"
D A
I said "Hey, what's going on?"

For a revolution
