Dear, @dreemsteem ❤❤❤

John Mayer sang this song and he was directing it towards those who promise change but are never able to achieve it.

He talked about pretty much every element of harmful governance. I feel like in the End Sars protest that happened last year where people were killed, me and all my friends were all misunderstood too.

They've already said so much wrong about our generation it was a matter of time before we took to the streets to fight the powers that shouldn't be.

The government of today in my country really doesn't carry its people in mind when making its decisions.

One time they wanted to reduce doctors' salaries to $30. They don't pay for certain occupations. For over 4 years my primary school teachers have not been paid.

They steal from us regularly and with no regard and that's all I think about when I listen to that song.

I remember when The protest happened we thought things would change until they brought out guns and started fighting at protesters. A government against its people.

In the song, he discussed the media being influenced by the government too. During the protest last year many New stations were not covering all the aspects of the situation. Some had already taken sides on who they thought was right and who was wrong.

He said, "When you trust your television, what you get is what you got cause when tey own the information, they can bend it all they want"

OverviewLyricsListenOther recordings
One, two
One, two, three
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 on (waiting)
Waiting on the world to change
Now if we had the power
To bring our neighbors home from war
They woulda 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 I keep on waiting (waiting)
Waiting on the world to change
We keep on waiting (waiting)
We're waiting on the world to change
Waiting on the world to change
Waiting on the world to change
Waiting on the world to change


John Mayer cantó esta canción y la estaba dirigiendo hacia aquellos que prometen un cambio pero nunca pueden lograrlo.

He hablado de prácticamente todos los elementos de la gobernanza dañina. Siento que en la protesta de End Sars que ocurrió el año pasado, donde mataron a gente, yo y todos mis amigos también fuimos incomprendidos.

Ya han dicho tanto mal sobre nuestra generación que era cuestión de tiempo antes de que saliéramos a las calles a luchar contra los poderes que no deberían serlo.

El gobierno de hoy en mi país realmente no tiene en cuenta a su gente a la hora de tomar sus decisiones.

Una vez quisieron reducir los salarios de los médicos a 30 dólares. No pagan por ciertas ocupaciones. Durante más de 4 años, mis profesores de primaria no han cobrado.

Nos roban con regularidad y sin consideración y eso es todo en lo que pienso cuando escucho esa canción.

Recuerdo que cuando ocurrió la protesta pensamos que las cosas cambiarían hasta que sacaron armas y empezaron a pelear contra los manifestantes. Un gobierno contra su pueblo.

En la canción, también hablé de que los medios de comunicación están siendo influenciados por el gobierno. Durante la protesta del año pasado, muchas estaciones nuevas no cubrieron todos los aspectos de la situación. Algunos ya habían tomado partido sobre quién pensaban que estaba bien y quién estaba equivocado.

Él dijo: "Cuando confías en tu televisor, lo que obtienes es lo que tienes porque cuando eres dueño de la información, ellos pueden doblarla todo lo que quieran".

Letra

Mis amigos y yo
somos malinterpretados
Dicen que apoyamos por nada
Y que no podríamos de ninguna manera

Ahora vemos todo lo que está mal
en el mundo y los que lo liderean
Sentimos que no tenemos los medios
Para levantarnos y vencerlos.

Así que seguimos esperando
Esperando a que el mundo cambie
Seguimos esperando
Esperando a que el mundo cambie.

Es difícil ganarle al sistema
Cuando estamos parados a una distancia
Así que seguimos esperando
Esperando a q

ue el mundo cambie

Ahora, si tuviéramos el poder
De traer de la guerra a nuestros vecinos a su hogar
Ellos nunca se hubieran perdido una Navidad
No más listones en sus puertas
Y cuando confías en tu televisión
Que lo que obtienes es lo que obtuviste
Porque cuando ellos son dueños de la información, oh
Pueden distorcionarla todo lo que ellos quieran.

Por eso es que estamos esperando
Esperando a que el mundo cambie
Seguimos esperando
Esperando a que el mundo cambie.

No es que no nos importe,
Sólo es que sabemos que la pelea no es justa.
Así que seguimos esperando
Esperando a que el mundo cambie

Y todavía seguimos esperando
Esperando a que el mundo cambie
Seguimos esperando
Esperando a que el mundo cambie
Un día nuestra generación
Va a gobernar a la población
Así que seguimos esperando
Esperando a que el mundo cambie

Seguimos esperando
Esperando a que el mundo cambie.

How great you got it bro 🙌😀, John Mayer rocks, his songs especially in guitar, are not easy to play in their majority; this one is relaxed and cool, for a moment I was confused by the lyrics you put bro, those lyrics are from "Changing" hehe, that's a nice one too.

A big hug brother and we are pending of what we talk these days, you told me there was a link for a group with you and jadr but it does not appear in the comment 🧐... 👊😎🔥🎙️🎹🎶🌟🎄✨🍻

PS: I added you on discord 👍

This was so good. So so good.

I remember everything that happened in Nigeria then. It broke my heart. There were so many of my friends (who I consider family) that were affected by that - and still - the government is hurting so many.

I felt your heart in this song @ebingo. Thank you for inviting me to it - always do!!! hehehe you know i love your singing 😍
