“What’s Going On?” by 4 Non-Blonds from 1993. It was not released on their one and only album from the year before; instead it was released as a single. This band was founded by these four women in San Fransisco in 1989.
I had heard this song but I never knew who did it. I found out just now. This is more great music from the 1990’s and it definitely has that 1990’s feel about, especially the chick band part. Bands were definitely making some good music still into the 1990’s! Those are some really cool lyrics too!
Twenty-five years And my life is 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 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 am 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 from the top of my lungs What’s going on?
And I say, hey, yeah, yeah-eah Hey, yeah, yeah I said, hey! What’s goin’ on?
And I sing, hey, yeah, yeah-eah 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 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 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-eah Hey, yeah, yeah I said, hey! What’s goin’ on?
And I sing, hey, yeah, yeah-eah Hey, yeah, yeah I said, hey! What’s going on?
And I say, hey, yeah, yeah-eah Hey, yeah, yeah I said, hey! What’s goin’ on?
And I sing, hey, yeah, yeah-eah Hey, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah I said, hey! What’s going on?
Twenty-five years And my life is still I’m trying to get up That great big hill of hope For a destination
