Roy Hargrove - Waiting on the World to Change lyrics

[Verse 1] 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 [Chorus] 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 [Verse 2] 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 Because when they own the information, oh They can bend it all they want [Chorus] So we keep 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 isn't fair So we keep on waiting Waiting on the world to change [Guitar Solo] [Chorus] 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 going to rule the population So we keep on waiting Waiting on the world to change [Outro] Now we keep on waiting Waiting on the world to change We keep on 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
