Waiting on the World to Change - 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
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 is from John Mayer first single released from John Mayer's 2006 studio album, Continuum. This song is very unique because John Mayer deliver his message with an allusion.
This song tells about How the world change and why the world change but we can't do anything .Politics was a topic that Mayer had not previously tackled. On his
decision to include a politically tinged song, he commented, "You cannot
avoid war in life, you cannot avoid the fear of terrorism, you cannot
avoid those things now, they are a part of everyday demeanor.
In the first couplet it tells about when someone want to make this world better but there's some people who not agree with us they think we stand for nothing and that makes people doesnt make a change for the world.
In the second couplet it tells about why the world getting worst is because the leader and we have no power to beat it.
In the fifth couplet tells about a war, war is also the reason why the world getting worst. The television just broadcast something they want us to see, when they got the true information they just changed it to destructive our mindset.
In the chorus "So we keep waiting ,Waiting on the world to changes" means we can't do nothing as long as we influenced about that reason and we just keep waiting untill the world to changes :(
