Waiting on the World to Change

This song makes me so angry when I hear it on the radio...

"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 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, oh
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

And 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

We keep on waiting
Waiting on the world to change

Yes, by all means, sit on your couch watching cartoons and whining instead of doing anything about all the wrongs you perceive in the world around you. That sounds like the best possible course of action.

John Mayer, I hate your damned song. What kind of passive, lame bullshit is that?! You are an effing retard. No wonder you and Jessica are dating. I really hope the two of you refrain from merging genetic material, as I am sure that your dumb asses would start the devolution of human society.

Never really had a problem with John Mayer. Of course, now that this song is all over the place, he kind of strikes me as a pussy. Or maybe a Frenchman.

You ruined it for me...here I thought it was a good song until I looked at the lyrics.

"One day our generation
is gonna rule the population"
???

That almost sounds like a threat. But, in context with the rest of the lyric, I guess he meant it as a lament. Suddenly I have an ounce of respect for Sean Penn and his leaky boat even.
