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

    This song is right right right... SEEB****TARD below is blinded by his/her America-phobia. I don't even live in the US and I can see how it has deserved all the progress it has made in the 20th century. Hypocritical preachers like SEEB****TARD base their prejudices off anti-American hype. This is what happens when uneducated naysayers get a hold of the internet. John Mayer is making a sardonic observation about society today. (Not just American society, since America is actually the MOST dynamic country around today. People in America are active. People in America protest. The smartest, most beautiful, most influential people in the world LIVE IN AMERICA. No wonder you're jealous. And before you ask, no, I live in Canada.)
    SEEB****TARD, one day you'll understand and appreciate art such as this. One day you'll see what is wrong with simply hating America. One day you'll know how to spell 'Gandhi'.

    lol. "one day you'll know how to spell Gandhi" that just ****ed me, it was so funny. i 100% agree. this is a wonderful song, and America is a GREAT country (though maybe i'm a little biased because I'm from America)John Mayer makes a beautiful point here, and this song just says it all.

    This song is wrong wrong wrong... It makes our generation look lazy and stupid. Wake up people. This song reminds me why the world hates the USA. You can't wait for the world to change, don't make this song our youth's anthem. Ghandi once said, "we must be the change we want to see in the world." We must be active.
