linda perry
From 4 Non Blondes' 1992 debut album "Bigger, Better, Faster, More!". Written by Linda Perry, lead singer and songwriter for the group. The song is often erronously referred to as "What's Goin' on?", and is among the all-time high One Hit Wonders. The blondes didn't manage to maintain the success. But Perry did; solo.
25 years of my life and still
tryin' to 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
then 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 yeah yeah hey 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
... oh ooh ooohh oooohh what's up ...
