The song describes the singer's struggle over 25 years to achieve his goals and make progress up the "great big hill of hope". He questions what is happening in the world and cries out for revolution. Each day he wakes up, takes a deep breath, and screams the lyrics "What's going on?" to express his feelings and make sense of his thoughts and the world.

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 for 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'm feeling a little peculiar And so I wake in the morning and I step Outside and I take deep breath And I get real high And I scream to the top of my lungs What's goin' on?
And I say hey-yeah-yeah-yeah, hey yea yea I say hey! what's goin' on And I say hey-yeah-yea-eah, hey yea yea I say hey! what's goin' 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 And I, I'm feeling a little peculiar And so I wake in the morning and I step Outside and I take deep breath And I get real high And I scream to the top of my lungs What's goin' on
And I say hey-yeah-yea-eah, hey yea yea I say hey! what's goin' on And I say hey-yeah-yea-eah, hey yea yea I say hey! what's goin' on
And I say hey-yeah-yea-eah, hey yea yea I say hey! what's goin' on And I say hey-yeah-yea-eah, hey yea yea I say hey! what's goin' on Oooh, oo! ooh-hoo-hoo-hoo-hoo Oo-ooh-hoo-hoo-hoo-hoooo-ahh-haa
25 years of my life and still I'm trying to get up that great big hill of hope For a destination Oo-ooh-hoo-hoo-hoo-hoooo
