Waiting for the World to Change
Found this great video on Blogs with a Face. I may not know much ASL, but the video gets its message across loud and clear.
Within an hour of writing this, I saw this song with captions on TV. It’s a lovely song.
Here are the lyrics from the John Meyer song that’s in this video:
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) Waiting on the world to change We keep on waiting (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) 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) Waiting on the world to change We keep on waiting (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) Waiting on the world to change
And we’re still waiting (waiting) Waiting on the world to change We keep on waiting (waiting) Waiting on the world to change One day our generation Is gonna rule the population So we keep on waiting (waiting) Waiting on the world to change
Now we keep on waiting (waiting) Waiting on the world to change
Waiting on the world to change(x4)

This video is so overexposed here and what a cheesey song too. “Waiting” is not even proactive. Wishful thinking really.
