4 Non Blondes – Whats Going On lyrics
What's up

25 years and I'm alive here 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 somethimes when I'm lying in bed
Just to get it all out what's in my head
And I'm, I am feeling a little peculiar
So I wake in the morning and I step outside
And I take deep breath and I get real high
And I scream from the top of my lungs
What's goin' on
And I say hey...
And I say hey what's goin' on
And I say hey...
I said hey what's goin' on
Oooh...
Oooh...
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
And so I cry sometimes when I'm lying in bed
Just to get it all out what's in my head
And I'm, I am feeling a little peculiar
So I wake in the morning and I step outside
And I take deep breath and I get real high
And I scream from the top of my lungs
What's goin'on
And I say hey...
And I say hey what's goin' on
And I say hey...
I said hey what's goin' on
And I say hey...
And I say hey what's goin' on
And I say hey...
I said hey what's goin' on
Oooh...
25 years and I'm alive here still
Trying to get up that great big hill of hope
For a destination

    Great song. At one point in life, I think everyone has seen or questioned society on how things are done. It feels a little crazy and feels like you are going crazy trying to live up to a dream you have but realize you are going in circles and another hoop to jump over (botherhood).

    It's everyone or atleast most of us that have any ounce of self worth and judging ourselves against our heroes feeling under par. This is a normal and good feeling but nothing to be taken over by, which is why songs like this are so great to let us know, its normal to feel behind and stressed and upside down. This is a good thing, just cry a little, let out a deep breath or a great big yell. -
    Also the "institution", feeling helpless in an ever needy world and watching others do nothing and feeling as if you're just one more of the masses, accept your not.
    There's a lot to this song.

    That we have serious problems getting along with each other on this planet. We always seem to resort to violence against each other and/or war. Sometimes in order to tune all that out you need to get high (i do anyway) but then sometimes that just gives you the balls to say "what's going on" their must be a better way. It seems like it's too much to hope for but we're still trying to make people see that violence is not the answer. It's the problem!

    Sometimes it's therapeutic just to scream out - What's going on? Anyone with a soul has felt this way at one time, or maybe a lot of the time. The point, to me, is to keep asking the question. Get it all out. It's the only way we'll get an answer, and get anywhere up that hill of hope.

    As the national anthem of my life
    is to know that I am not the only one who feels like doesn't feet in this fkng workd, and you live questioning all days what the point? You need to be under all the time and all your life to have a happy marriage? You need to shut up and have your head down to fit in you place in this world?

    Just a Song about Life. What we strive for and the obstacles. In most businesses, It's the "Brotherhood of Man" that run things. Or whatever that means. It's frustrating, so ya cry at night, but just to get up and strive again. And when ya finally Make It? How do You Know? L.

    This song beautiful song to me, every time I listen, strikes my heart as we are all super people, needing love and good friends. A great deal of us, me too, were very lonely and inwardly hurt to our growing up the way we did. Knowing there is a more kinder and loving way is our hope, and still, finding, out, there's a lot to do, to make it better.

    I personally believe they were exposing the fact that the Freemasons control the world and that they are also what we know of as the Illuminati. They control literally everything and everyone and I think they were trying to expose it. When you listen carefully to the words it seems obvious to me
