A Bm D A (2X)

A25 years of my life and still,

BmTryin' to to get up that great big hill of Dhope, for a destiAnation.

I Arealized quickly when I knew I should ,

That the Bmworld was made up of this brotherhood of Dman,

For whatAever that means.

And so I Acry sometimes, when I'm lying in bed

Just to Bmget it all out, what's in my head, then I,

I am Dfeeling, a little peAculiar.

And so I Awake in the morning, and I step outside

And I Bmtake a deep breath, and I get real high, and I,

DScream from the top of my lungs, "What's going Aon?"

And I say, "AHey yeah yeah hey, Bmhey yeah yeah."

I Dsaid, "Hey, what's going Aon?"

And I Atry, oh my God, do I Bmtry, I try all the Dtime, in this Ainstitution.

And I Apray, oh my God, do I Bmpray, I pray every single Dday, For a revoAlution.

And so I Acry sometimes, when I'm lying in bed

Just to Bmget it all out, what's in my head, then I,

I am Dfeeling, a little peAculiar.

And so I Awake in the morning, and I step outside
