D654321132              Bm654321111342           G654321213            D654321132

Me and all my friends, we're all misunderstood.

      A654321123                 Bm654321111342                   G654321213           D654321132

They say we stand for nothing, and theres no way we ever could.

               D654321132            Bm654321111342                  G654321213                  D654321132

Now we see everything thats going wrong with the world and those who lead it

         A654321123                 Bm654321111342               G654321213             D654321132

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.

              A654321123       Bm654321111342                     G654321213       D654321132

We keep on waiting,           waiting on the world to change.

       D654321132               G654321213                   Bm654321111342           G654321213

It's hard to beat the system, when you're standing at a distance,

              A654321123        Bm654321111342                    G654321213       D654321132

So we keep waiting,           waiting on the world to change.

Now  if  we  had    the   power  to bring our neighbors home from war

                  A654321123             Bm654321111342                G654321213                D654321132

They would have never missed a Christmas, No more ribbons on their door

               D654321132          Bm654321111342                G654321213              D654321132

And when you trust your television, What you get is what you got

                  A654321123           Bm654321111342                 G654321213               D654321132

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

              A654321123     Bm654321111342                 G654321213           D654321132

It's not that we don't care, We just know that the fight ain't fair
