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)   Waiting on the world to change   We keep on waiting   (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)   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   Oh, they can bend it all they want      That's why we're waiting   (Waiting)   Waiting on the world to change   We keep on waiting   (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)   Waiting on the world to change      And we're still waiting   (Waiting)   Waiting on the world to change   We keep on waiting   (Waiting)   Waiting on the world to change      One day our generation   Is gonna rule the population   So we keep on waiting   (Waiting)   Waiting on the world to change      No, we keep on waiting   (Waiting)   Waiting on the world to change   We keep on waiting   (Waiting)   Waiting on the world to change   Waiting on the world to change   Waiting on the world to change   Waiting on the world to change
