"Waiting On The World To Change" lyrics
TajMo (Taj Mahal & Keb' Mo') Lyrics
(originally by John Mayer)
Me and 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 on waiting, yeah
Waiting on the world to change
We keep on waiting, yeah
Waiting on the world to change
It's hard to be persistent
When we're standing at a distance
So we keep on waiting, yeah
Waiting on the world to change
Now if we had the power
To bring our neighbors home from war
They would've 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, yeah
Waiting on the world to change
We keep on waiting, yeah
Waiting on the world to change
Not that we don't care
We just know that the fight ain't fair
So we keep on waiting, yeah
Waiting on the world to change
And we're still waiting, yeah
Waiting on the world to change
Keep on waiting, yeah
Waiting on the world to change
One day, the younger generation
Is gonna rule the population
So we keep on waiting, yeah
Waiting on the world to change
(Keep on waiting) yeah
Waiting on the world to change
Waiting on the world to change
Waiting on the world to change
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 on waiting, yeah
Waiting on the world to change
We keep on waiting, yeah
Waiting on the world to change
It's hard to be persistent
When we're standing at a distance
So we keep on waiting, yeah
Waiting on the world to change
Now if we had the power
To bring our neighbors home from war
They would've 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, yeah
Waiting on the world to change
We keep on waiting, yeah
Waiting on the world to change
Not that we don't care
We just know that the fight ain't fair
So we keep on waiting, yeah
Waiting on the world to change
And we're still waiting, yeah
Waiting on the world to change
Keep on waiting, yeah
Waiting on the world to change
One day, the younger generation
Is gonna rule the population
So we keep on waiting, yeah
Waiting on the world to change
(Keep on waiting) yeah
Waiting on the world to change
Waiting on the world to change
Waiting on the world to change
Waiting on the world to change
