"Waiting On The World To Change" by : 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, 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





This song talks about how people my age can not really do anything to change how the world is, which I believe is true as of right now. The song says how one day our generation will rule the population, and that is when we will be able to try to change the world to how we believe it should be. Trying to do something now would just be pointless because the older generation does not take us seriously and they believe their ideas are better than ours are.This song may make it seem like when you are younger you can not make any difference in the world, but it just tells how it is almost impossible when you are as young as we are to try and get anyone to believe in your ideas, so we just wait until it is our time.
