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 is 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
Its 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 neighbours home from war
They would've never missed a Christmas
No more ribbons on their door
When you trust your television
What you get is what you get
Cuz when they own the information ooohhh,
They can bend it all they want
So while 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
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.
I chose this song because it has a deep meaning to it. When it says 'Waiting on the world to change', the singer refers to when we do nothing and just wait for government to take action. I think the singer is trying to tell the world that if everyone stood up for their beliefs and had faith in their government, wars and bloodshed would not be necessary. I think he is also trying to say that its not that we don't care but its the fact that we don't have faith in ourselves and others, so we wait for the time until someone changes the world.
