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
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
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
No we keep on waiting
Waiting on the world to change
We keep on 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
A música "Waiting on the world to change", de Jonh Mayer, é uma crítica à sociedade atutal. Trata da falsa democracia, um tema em perfeita ressonância com o nosso cotidiano.
O músico discute a existência de entidades que detêm maior poder (principalmente na política e na mídia) e que abusam desse poder para manipular a população de acordo com os seus interesses.
Hoje vemos isso acontecer incessantemente. Quem nunca ouviu falar em líderes governamentais corruptos ou censura da mídia? E, então, o refrão nos deixa com a seguinte reflexão: nós reconhecemos o que há de errado com o sistema. Porém, é inútil fazer frente à estas entidades que dispõe de recursos capazes de impedir uma reforma. Enfim, só nos resta aguardar uma mudança.
