    Lyrics:
    [Intro]
    One, two
    One, two, three
    [Verse 1]
    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
    [Chorus]
    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 we're standing at a distance
    So we keep waiting (Waiting)
    Waiting on the world to change
    [Verse 2]
    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
    But 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
    [Chorus]
    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
    [Guitar Solo]
    [Chorus]
    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
    So we keep on waiting (Waiting)
    Waiting on the world to change
    [Outro]
    Now we keep on waiting (Waiting)
    Waiting on the world to change
    We keep on waiting (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

      the world won't change until the people stand up and quit letting politicians and government officials fuck us over. it won't change until people vote for a group effort, not who will send them a bribe(that check). it won't change until people think and do the research for themselves instead of blindly following corrupt sources. it won't change until we get rid of the disrespectful attitude towards others for any reason and value one another. it won't change until we get rid of these dividing categories like race, gender, sexual orientation, etc in unrequired places. it most likely won't be seen in my lifetime (I'm 23 for clarity).

      +Myathewolfeh1 How odd! I don't find this song inspirational at all. I'm drawn to it because I can relate to the feeling of hopelessness and helplessness and with the downright laziness expressed in it. It's depressing but real. Some of us refuse to even try to do anything to make the world a better place because we believe it's futile or because we're too selfish or lazy. Instead of actually doing anything to change ourselves or change the world, "we keep on waiting, waiting, waiting on the world to change."

      This can equally go for social media and other internet outlets that post misinformation and convoluted lies. There are countless websites set up to deliberately mislead the publics' interest. Such as the case of the young man who started the QAnon movement just to see how many blind and ignorant people would follow and what a wake-up call that has been. RUclips is a huge source of misinformation and conspiracist that spread it. So you can say the same thing about the internet as you can the Media and TV nightly news. You'll find liars in every corner and crevice of the world using outlets like these to spread their own agendas. Most people believe what their circle of friends believe... they're so afraid of losing people and ending up alone that they follow whether they believe or not and whether they have a shred of evidence or not. In fact, you could wave the truth right in front of their faces, and because they've been told repeatedly how evil the news media is they won't even believe their own eyes. These tactics may be updated by today's standards of mass communication but Dictators and Demagogues like Mussolini used the same methods of brainwashing. But over time people do catch on to the lies and daily doses of bullshit they are fed and that's when the real shit goes down.

    It has been nearly ten years since I have first heard this song. This is the first song I ever remember hearing, and for some strange reason, I could never forget the song, even when I forgot both the tune and the lyrics, and had no clue who the artist was. I realized that it was the feeling in my heart I couldn't forget. About a year ago, I figured out why... it is my soul's song. So I spent the last three weeks racking my brain, trying my best to remember anything about the tune or the lyrics. Finally, I succeed and have been 'reunited' with my soul song. Like if there is a song that you feel is your 'soul song'.
