4 NON BLONDES

What's up

Twenty five years of my life and still I'm tryin' 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 hey yeah yeah I said Hey! what's going on And I say Hey yeah yeah hey 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 revolution 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, hey yeah yeah I said Hey! what's going on? And I say Hey yeah yeah hey hey, hey yeah yeah I said Hey! what's going on? And I say Hey yeah yeah hey hey, hey yeah yeah I said Hey! what's going on? And I say Hey yeah yeah hey hey hey yeah yeah yeah yeah! I said Hey! what's going on?

Dear Mister president

I’m looking outside of my window, the view that I see
Is a child and mama, and the child is begging for money
Tell me why, tell me why, the woman is blind ?
Is she so broke, the kid’s dealing crime
It’s such a beautiful city, but the world is burning it down
yea yea yea yea yea yea, yea yea yea yea yea yea,
It’s such a beautiful city, but the world is burning it down

I go to my room, to turn on the T.V.
I sit myself down and I start laughing hard
‘Cause this man, he’s asking for money
He says : Ť if you send me lots of cash,
I’ll send you stuff to make you rich fast ť
It’s such a wonderful country, but the man, he’s burning it down
yea yea yea yea yea yea, yea yea yea yea yea yea,
It’s such a wonderful country, but the man, he’s burning it down,
yea yea yea yea yea yea, yea yea yea yea yea yea,
And it’s burning down, and it’s called the US of A

One day I’m going to have lots of money
But I’ll have to give it up for this rich society.
Oh, please Mr. President will you lend me a future ?
‘Cause you’ll just get it back
From the little blind woman and the kid on the corner
And the people all over, doin’ crack
yea yea yea yea yea yea, yea yea yea yea yea yea,
It’s such a wonderful country, but the man, he’s burning it down,
yea yea yea yea yea yea, yea yea yea yea yea yea,
And it’s burning down, and it’s called the US of A.

I’m walking outside on a sunny day
With no one around - And I wonder what’s wrong
Then I hear this loud piercing siren
Oh my God, the bomb has just dropped
And everybody climbed right on top
Screaming, what a wonderful country
But the man, he’s burning it down, he’s burning it down,
yea yea yea yea yea yea, yea yea yea yea yea yea,
It’s such a wonderful country, but the man, he’s burning it down,
yea yea yea yea yea yea, yea yea yea yea yea yea,
And it’s burning down, and it’s called the US of A.
