What's Up? Lyrics

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 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
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 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 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

The 4 Non Blondes were an early-90s American alternative rock band. Lead vocalist Linda Perry has since released solo work and produced songs on hit albums by P!nk, Lisa Marie Presley and Christina Aguilera. The band consisted of bassist Christa Hillhouse, guitarist Roger Rocha, drummer Dawn Richardson and vocalist Linda Perry.

The 4 Non Blondes had a huge hit single in 1993 with "What's Up". A year later, DJ Miko remixed the track as a dance song, and it became a hit again, on radio and in clubs. The original version of the song overshadowed the groups' other work, with them being labeled as a 'one hit wonder', but they scored significant underground success, particularly with listeners drawn to their feminist political themes.

In 1995, The4 Non Blondes contributed the song "Misty Mountain Hop" to the Encomium tribute album to Led Zeppelin. The group also covered Van Halen's "I'm The One" for the popular slacker comedy 'Airheads'. Linda Perry went solo in 1996, and the band disbanded after recording, but not releasing, their second album. Read more on Last.fm.
