D2 Bm
me and all my friends
G D2
we're all misunderstood
A Bm
they say we stand for nothing and
G D2
there's no way we ever could
A Bm
now we see everything that's going wrong
G D2
with the world and those who lead it
A Bm
we just feel like we don't have the means
G D2
to rise above and beat it
D2 D1 Bm
so we keep waiting (waiting)

now if we had the power
G D2
to bring our neighbors home from war
A Bm
they would have never missed a Christmas
G D2
no more ribbons on their door
D2 Bm
and when you trust your television
G D2
what you get is what you got
A Bm
cause when they own the information, oh

waiting on the world to change
