Waiting for the eviction order - a song

Two hundred years and my life is still
Trying to get up that great big hill of hope
For a destination
I realized quickly though it does no good
That the world is 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 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 at the top of my lungs
WHAT'S GOING ON?

And I say, hey hey hey hey hey hey hey
I said HEY, what's going on?
And I say, hey hey hey hey hey hey hey
I said HEY, WHAT'S GOING ON?
Ooh, ooh ooh (Nico Teen Nico Teen Nico Teen in this long instrumental)

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 blog sometimes
Of the things I dread
Just to get it all out
What's in my head
And I am feeling a little peculiar

And so I write in the morning
While I sit inside
And I take a deep breath and I get real high
And I scream at the top of my lungs
WHAT'S GOING ON?

And I say, hey hey hey hey hey hey hey
I said HEY, what's going on?
And I say, hey hey hey hey hey hey hey
I said HEY, WHAT'S GOING ON?
(over and over and over and over)

Two hundred years and my life is still
Trying to get up that great big hill of hope
For a destination
