adnan Posted January 3, 2007 Share Posted January 3, 2007 For what seems like forever, I have associated myself with anti-war movements that occurred decades before I became politically conscious. John Mayer has now written by far the greatest anti-war song by anyone from his generation. "Waiting on the World to Change" is a musical reply to all the angry rednecks I encounter who claim I'm wasting my time and don't stand for anything at all. It is an absolute masterpiece, sampling lite funk, blue-eyed soul, west-coast jazz, and blues, all while keeping to a short, sweet pop-rock format. Mayer has crafted an instant clasic. Me and all my friendsWe're all misunderstoodThey say we stand for nothingThere's no way we ever couldNow we see everything is going wrongWith the world and those who lead itWe just feel like we don't have the meansTo rise above and beat itSo we keep waiting (waiting)Waiting on the world to changeWe keep on waiting (waiting)Waiting on the world to changeIts hard to beat the systemWhen we're standing at a distanceSo we keep waiting (waiting)Waiting on the world to changeNow if we had the powerTo bring our neighbors home from warThey would've never missed a ChristmasNo more ribbons on their doorWhen you trust your televisionWhat you get is what you gotCuz when they own the information ooohhh,They can bend it all they wantSo while we're waiting (waiting)Waiting on the world to changeWe keep on waiting (waiting)Waiting on the world to changeIt's not that we don't careWe just know that the fight ain't fairSo we keep on waiting (waiting)Waiting on the world to changeWe're still waiting (waiting)Waiting on the world to changeWe keep on waiting (waiting)Waiting on the world to changeOne day our generationIs gonna rule the populationSo we keep on waiting (waiting)Waiting on the world to changeKnow we keep on waiting (waiting)Waiting on the world to changeWe keep on waiting (waiting)Waiting on the world to changeWaiting on the world to changeWaiting on the world to changeWaiting on the world to change.
