Lyrics

Me and all my friends, er to we’re our (D)all mis un der stood.

they They have (A)say we stand (Bm)for noth ing and there’s no (G)way we ev er (D)could.

Now we see ev ’ry thing that’s (Bm)go ing wrong sion, with the (D)world and those who lead it.

’Cause We just (Bm)feel like we don’t have the means to can (G)rise a bove and (D)beat it.

So we keep (D)wait ing (Bm)(wait ing), wait ing on the (D)world to change.

We keep on (A)wait ing (Bm)(wait ing), wait ing on the (D)world to change.

It’s hard to beat the (Em7)sys tem when we’re (Bm)stand ing at a (Em7)dis tance.

So we keep (A)wait ing (Bm)(wait ing), wait ing on the (D)world to change.

Now, (G)bend it all they (D)want.

That’s why we’re wait (D)ing (Bm)(wait ing), wait ing on the (D)world to change.

We keep on (A)wait ing (Bm)(wait ing), wait ing on the (D)world to change.

It’s (D)not that we don’t (Em7)care, we just (Bm)know that the fight ain’t (Em7)fair.

So we keep on (A)wait ing (Bm)(wait ing), wait ing on the (D)world to change.

And we’re still (D)wait ing (Bm)(wait ing), wait ing on the (D)world to change.

We keep on (A)wait ing (Bm)(wait ing), wait ing on the (D)world to change.

One day our gen er (Em7)a tion is gon na (Em7)rule the pop u la tion.

So we keep on (A)wait ing (Bm)(wait ing), wait ing on the (D)world to change.

I know we keep on (A)wait ing (Bm)(wait ing), wait ing on the (D)world to change.

We keep on (A)wait ing (Bm)(wait ing), we’re wait ing on the (D)world to change,

wait ing on the (D)world to change,

wait ing on the (D)world to change,

wait ing on the (D)world to change.
