[Intro]
D Bm G D A Bm G D
 
[Verse 1]
D               Bm            G             D
Me and all my friends, we're all misunderstood.
      A           Bm                           G            D
They say we stand for nothing, and theres no way we ever could.
               D              Bm                   G                   D
Now we see everything that's going wrong with the world and those who lead it
         A            Bm                      G              D
We just feel like we don't have the means to rise above and beat it.
 
 
[Chorus]
              D        Bm                      G        D
So we keep waiting, (waiting) waiting on the world to change.
              A        Bm                      G        D
We keep on waiting, (waiting) waiting on the world to change.
       D                Em                    Bm           Em7
It's hard to beat the system, when you're standing at a distance,
              A         Bm                     G        D
So we keep waiting, (waiting) waiting on the world to change.
 
 
[Verse 2]
D               Bm            G             D
Now if we had the power to bring our neighbors home from war 
      A           Bm                           G            D
They would have never missed a Christmas, no more ribbons on their door
               D              Bm                   G                   D
And when you trust your television, what you get is what you got 
         A            Bm                      G              D
Cause when they own the information, oh they can bend it all they want 
 
 
[Chorus]
              D        Bm                      G        D
That's why we're waiting (waiting) waiting on the world to change 
              A        Bm                      G        D
We keep on waiting (waiting) waiting on the world to change 
       D                Em                    Bm           Em7
It's not that we don't care, we just know that the fight ain't fair 
              A         Bm                     G        D
So we keep on waiting (waiting) waiting on the world to change

[Chorus]
              D        Bm                      G        D
And we're still waiting (waiting) waiting on the world to change 
              A        Bm                      G        D
We keep on waiting (waiting) waiting on the world to change 
    D           Em                    Bm           Em7
One day our generation is gonna rule the population 
           A         Bm                     G        D
We keep on waiting (waiting) waiting on the world to change 
           A         Bm                     G        D
We keep on waiting (waiting) waiting on the world to change 
           A         Bm                     G        D
We keep on waiting (waiting) waiting on the world to change
              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)
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

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
So we keep on waiting (waiting)
Waiting on the world to change
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
