Waiting On The World To Change -- John Mayer

Me and all my friends  We're all misunderstood They say we stand for nothing 
and  There's no way we ever could   Now we see everything that's going wrong 
With the world and those who lead it  We just feel like we don't have the means 
To rise above and beat it 

So we keep waiting  Waiting on the world to change  We keep on waiting 
Waiting on the world to change  It's hard to beat the system 
When we're standing at a distance  So we keep waiting  Waiting on the world to change 

Now if we had the power   To bring our neighbors home from war 
They would have never missed a Christmas  No more ribbons on their door 
And when you trust your television   What you get is what you got 
Cause when they own the information, They can bend it all they want 

That's why we're waiting  Waiting on the world to change   We keep on waiting 
Waiting on the world to change   It's not that we don't care,  We just know that the fight
ain't fair  So we keep on waiting  Waiting on the world to change 

And we're still waiting  Waiting on the world to change  We keep on waiting waiting
on the world to change  One day our generation  Is gonna rule the population 
So we keep on waiting  Waiting on the world to change 
oh no, We keep on waiting   Waiting on the world to change                         (sing 365)
