25 years of my life and still
I’m 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 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
and 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 yeaaah!
Hey yeah yeah
I said hey,
What’s going on?
And I say: Hey yeah yeaaah!
Hey yeah yeah.
I said hey,
What’s going on?
Uhh, uh, uhuhuh uhuhuh
Uhh, uh, uhuhuh uhuhuh
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, 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 yeaaah!
Hey yeah yeah.
I said hey,
What’s going on?
And I say: Hey yeah yeaaah!
Hey yeah yeah.
I said hey,
What’s going on?
And I say: Hey yeah yeaaah!
Hey yeah yeah.
I said hey,
What’s going on?
And I say: Hey yeah yeaaah!
Hey yeah yeah.
I said hey,
What’s going on?
Uhh, uh, uhuhuh uhuhuh
25 years of my life and still
I’m trying to get up that great big hill of hope
For a destination
Eigentlich geht der Song ja n büschen watt gegen uns Männer, aber sie singt das sooo überzeugend, dass man mitsingen möchte! Der Titel des Songs kommt übrigens in keiner einzigen Zeile vor, auch mal was anderes (aber nicht unbedingt selten). Für die Jüngeren unter den Lesern: Der Song war 1993 Wochenlang auf Platz eins in Deutschland, jeder über 30 kann ihn bei jeder beliebigen Feier nach einigen Bieren mitsingen und meines Wissens war das ein One-Hit-Wonder. Wenn ihr bei der nächsten Karaoke-Party punkten wollt, dann lest den Text aufmerksam durch 😉
