Me and all my
We're all
They say we stand for , and
There's we ever could

Now we see that's going wrong
With theand those who lead it
We just feel like we don't have the
To rise and beat it

So we keep on 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
When we're standing at
So we keep on waiting (waiting)
Waiting on the world to change
 
Now if we had the
To bring our home from war
They would've never missed a
No more ribbons on their



And when you trust your
What you get is what you got
Cause when they own the, 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
We just know that theain'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
Is gonna rule the
So we keep on waiting (waiting)
Waiting on the world to change
We keep on waiting (waiting)
Waiting on the world to change.
