Waiting On The World To Change
John Mayer

sang a new song last night...
...spent a long time getting the words right...
...the live recording is hard to hear...
...so that nobody gets confused...
...every letter matters...

waiting On The World To Change

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

1. It's "Waiting FOR the world to change." The only time you wait ON
someone is if you work in a restaurant.

Sheesh.

2. Waiting: That's The Problem.
The Change is Everywhere--and it's Bad. Waiting for it to change won't accomplish anything except to allow it to get worse.

3. It's a social commentary in a song...
not an open invitation to attack.

Thank you, please drive through.
