Hey ya, hey ya, hey ya, hey ya
Hey ya, hey ya, hey ya, hey ya

If you got something that spins in your head
Then you've got to run with it man
No matter what they said

You've got to break away and fly on your own
Ain't nobody gonna give you a ride
Ain't nobody gonna carry you home

Hey ya, hey ya, hey ya, hey ya
Hey ya, hey ya, hey ya, hey ya

If you've got fire that burns in your soul
And you can't sleep at night
No matter what you've been told
You've got to break away and live a day at a time
Are you going to take on the world?
And are you going to take it this time?

Hey ya, hey ya, hey ya, hey ya
Hey ya, hey ya, hey ya, hey ya

I went to a sweat one night to clean up my soul
I heard you call me from eons away
He said I'm going to give you the light
He said I'm going to put you ahead
That's what my Grandfather said

Hey ya, hey ya, hey ya, hey ya
Hey ya, hey ya, hey ya, hey ya

Well I had something that spun in my head
And I had to run with it man no matter what they said
I had to break away and fly on my own
Nobody ever gave me a ride
Nobody ever carried me home

Hey ya, hey ya, hey ya, hey ya
Hey ya, hey ya, hey ya, hey
