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 oh

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

we keep on waiting

waiting on the world to change
