Waiting on the world to change
Me and all my friendsWe're all misunderstoodThey say we stand for nothing andThere's no way we ever could
Now we see everything that's going wrongWith the world and those who lead itWe just feel like we don't have the meansTo rise above and beat it
So we keep waitingWaiting on the world to changeWe keep on waitingWaiting on the world to change
It's hard to beat the systemWhen we're standing at a distanceSo we keep waitingWaiting on the world to change
Now if we had the powerTo bring our neighbors home from warThey would have never missed a ChristmasNo more ribbons on their doorAnd when you trust your televisionWhat you get is what you gotCause when they own the information, ohThey can bend it all they want
That's why we're waitingWaiting on the world to changeWe keep on waitingWaiting on the world to change
It's not that we don't care,We just know that the fight ain't fairSo we keep on waitingWaiting on the world to change
And we're still waitingWaiting on the world to changeWe keep on waiting waiting on the world to changeOne day our generationIs gonna rule the populationSo we keep on waitingWaiting on the world to change
We keep on waitingWaiting on the world to change
