Letra de
Waiting On the World to Change

A música Waiting on the World to Change reflete os sentimentos de impotência que a geração mais jovem sente em relação aos problemas do mundo, e a crença de que muitos desses problemas ficarão para eles resolverem no futuro. John Mayer escreveu a música como uma observação de sua geração e das expectativas colocadas sobre eles pela sociedade.

Me and all my friends, we're all misunderstood.
They say we stand for nothing, and theres 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 you'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
We keep on waiting (waiting) waiting on the world to change
We keep on waiting (waiting) waiting on the world to change
We keep on waiting (waiting) waiting on the world to change
