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 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
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 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 ain't fair
so we keep on waiting
waiting on the world to change
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 gonna rule the population
so we keep on waiting
waiting on the world to change
we keep on waiting
waiting on the world to change

Is there anyone who
Ever remembers
Changing their mind from
The paint on a sign
Is there anyone who
Really recalls
Ever breaking rank at all
For something someone yelled real loud one time
Oh everyone believes
In how they think it oughta be
Oh everyone believes
And they’re not going easy
Belief is a beautiful armor
But makes for the heaviest sword
Like punching underwater
You never can hit who you trying for
Some need the exhibition
Some have to know their trying
It’s the chemical weapon for the war
That’s raging on inside
Oh everyone believes
From emptiness to everything
Oh everyone believes
No one’s going quietly
We’re never gonna win the world
We’re never gonna stop the war
We’re never gonna beat this is
If belief is what we’re fighting for
We’re never gonna win the world
We’re never gonna stop the war
We’re never gonna beat this is
If belief is what we’re fighting for
Is there anyone who
Can remember
Ever surrendering
With their life on the line
What puts a hundred thousand children in the sand?
Belief can
Belief can
What puts a folded flag inside his mother’s hands?
Belief can
Belief can

It's not a silly little moment
It's not the storm before the calm
This is the deep and dyin breath of
This love we've been workin on
Can't seem to hold you like I want to
So I can feel you in my arms
Nobody's gonna come and save you
We pulled too many false alarms
We're goin down
And you can see it too
We're goin down
And you know that we're doomed
My dear
We're slow dancing in a burnin room
I was the one you always dreamed of
You were the one I tried to draw
How dare you say it's nothing to me
Baby, you're the only light I ever saw
I'll make the most of all the sadness
You'll be a bitch because you can
You try to hit me just hurt me
So you leave me feeling dirty
Because you can't understand
We're goin down
And you can see it too
We're goin down
And you know that we're doomed
my dear
We're slow dancing in a burnin room
Go cry about it why don't you
Go cry about it why don't you
Go cry about it why don't you
My dear, we're slow dancin' in a burnin' room,
Burninl room, burnin' room
Don't you think we oughta know by now
Don't you think we shoulda learned somehow
Don't you think we oughta know by now
Don't you think we shoulda learned somehow
Don't you think we oughta know by now
Don't you think we shoulda learned somehow
Don't you think we shoulda learned somehow
Don't you think we shoulda learned somehow
Don't you think we shoulda learned somehow
Don't you think we shoulda learned somehow

I'm a lazy lover
Undercover
Wasting time
Then one day this summer
I changed my number
To cut my line
Good love is on the way
I been lonely but I know I'll be ok
Good love is on the way
3 years broken hearted
But now her ghost is finally gone
I'm done with broken people
This is me
I'm workin on
Good love is on the way
I've been lonely but I know I'll be ok
Good love is on the way
Good to go for wherever I'm needed
Bags are packed and they're
Down by the door
You can take all the tricks up my sleeve
I don't need them any more
Good love is on the way
Good love is on the way
I've been lonely but I know ill be ok
. . .

It's been your word, you made your stand
you got me crying, as well as you planned
but when my loneliness is through, i'm gonna find another you
you take your sweaters
you take your time
you might have your reasons but you will never have my rhymes
i'm gonna sing my way away from blue
i'm gonna find another you
when i was your lover
no one else would do
if i'm false to find another i hope she looks like you
yeah and she's nicer too
so go on baby
make your little get away
my pride will keep me company
and you just gave yours all away
now i'm gonna dress myself for two
once for me and once for someone new
i'm gonna do somethings you wouldn't let me do
oh i'm gonna find another you

Too many shadows in my room
too many hours in this midnight
too many corners in my mind
so much to do to set my heart right
oh it's taking so long i could be wrong, i could be ready
oh but if i take my heart's advice
i should assume it's still unsteady
i am in repair, i am in repair
stood on the corner for a while
to wait for the wind to blow down on me
hoping it takes with it my old ways
and brings some brand new look upon me
oh it's taking so long i could be wrong, i could be ready
oh but if i take my heart's advice
i should assume it's still unsteady
i am in repair, i am in repair
and now i'm walking in a park
all of the birds they dance below me
maybe when things turn green again
it will be good to say you know me
oh it's taking so long i could be wrong, i could be ready
oh but if i take my heart's advice
i should assume it's still unready
oh i'm never really ready, i'm never really ready
i'm in repair, i'm not together but i'm getting there
i'm in repair, i'm not together but i'm getting there
