Waiting On The World To Change - The One-Man Band

"Waiting On The World To Change" - Inspired by Taj Mahal and Keb ‘Mo
(original song by John Mayer, released 2006)

Me and 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

(* - +back-up dudes…)
*So we keep on waiting, yeah
Waiting on the world to change
* We keep on waiting,
Waiting on the world to change

It's hard to be persistent
When we're standing at a distance
*So we keep on waiting, yeah
Waiting on the world to change

(megaphone guy)
Now if we had the power
To bring our neighbors home from war
They would've 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, yeah
Waiting on the world to change
*We keep on waiting, yeah
Waiting on the world to change
Not that we don't care
We just know that the fight ain't fair
*So we keep on waiting, yeah
Waiting on the world to change

Harp break (plus non-sensical, censored scat-man…)

And we're still waiting, yeah
Waiting on the world to change
*Keep on waiting, yeah
Waiting on the world to change
One day, the younger generation
Is gonna rule the population
* So we keep on waiting, yeah
Waiting on the world to change
(Keep on waiting) yeah
Waiting on the world to change
Waiting on the world to change
Waiting on the world to change
Waiting on the world to change
