It's hard to beat the system
No, we keep on waiting
So we keep on waiting
To bring our neighbors home from war
(Waiting)
That's why we're waiting
Waiting on the world to change
Oh, they can bend it all they want
With the world and those who lead it
(Waiting)

Waiting on the world to change
They say we stand for nothing
Waiting on the world to change
And we're still waiting
Waiting on the world to change
(Waiting)
And there's no way we ever could
We keep on waiting
Waiting on the world to change
Waiting on the world to change
We just feel like we don't have the means
We just know that the fight ain't fair
(Waiting)
Waiting on the world to change
Waiting on the world to change
When we're standing at a distance
They would have never missed a Christmas
Waiting on the world to change
We're all misunderstood
So we keep waiting
‘Cause when they own the information
To rise above and beat it
So we keep on waiting
Now if we had the power
We keep on waiting
No more ribbons on their door
(Waiting)
(Waiting)
So we keep waiting
(Waiting)
Waiting on the world to change
It's not that we don't care
Waiting on the world to change
Waiting on the world to change
(Waiting)
And when you trust your television
We keep on waiting
Waiting on the world to change
Waiting on the world to change
Is gonna rule the population
Me and all my friends
(Waiting)

One day our generation
What you get is what you got
Now we see everything that's going wrong
We keep on waiting
