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 ya
