Yeah this song is way more relatable now than it was since this describes the pandemic and war in Ukraine very well, it mentions a lot of true facts that we face everyday that we may have been blind to in the past.
when you trust your television what you get is what you got cause when they own the information they can bend it all they want we need like a dark version in a minor key for 2021
The world's still young hun. I know the futures scary but we cant just lay down and let it take us. Humans are cockroaches remember. If we can survive in +50c or -50c and still find time to be happy and exist then we'll survive whatever tantrum the worlds currently having
yup... they didn't get control of the U.S. presidency, and brexit happened, so they're not getting the fighting overseas they wanted, so they've brought the fighting home
listening to this during the 2020 riots hits different edit: our world is so messed up that complete strangers feel the need to debate and attack each other behind screens on another complete strangers post.. and it’s the normal for you guys. truly saddening.
Give me a fuckinbreak.... If you think that was rioting take your ass back to South Central in Los Angeles after Rodney King. I'd like to know how old you are!
BA P btw it is rioting rioting has a difference from protesting protesting is holding a sign and shouting rioting is burning buildings down and looting all rioting is the same there is no type of rioting
This song has a wonderful message. Millions of people know about things going wrong with the world, but we do nothing about it simply because we aren't forced to and we feel powerless. Now imagine if everyone in the world picked up one piece of trash every day. Every individual has power, and people like John Mayer are the ones who inspire people to start doing something about the wrongs in this world. If everyone brought their power together, our strength would be overwhelming.
huh?? I had heard this song about 5 times in the last year or two (2023-4) and really liked the music, vocals, and beat...but only just now -April 13, 2024 - did I read the lyrics! What wonderful message?! And how does John Mayer "inspire" anyone?! He is very clearly saying - wait...sit around and do nothing BUT wait...that ain't gonna change a damn thing! I've been an activist since I was in college in the late Sixties...you don't need to be a rocket scientist to understand that his "message" has it ass backwards!
it means that him and his friends are awaken and they are waiting for the sheep people to awake and figure out that the gov and mainstream media is corrupt and crooked. the fight aint fair" they can bend it all they want" we see everthing thats going wrong whith those and who LEAD it"
Aaah this is so sad but true. BUT we all have a choice everyday as long as we have breathe to look in the mirror and make that change.. one soul one step at a time. Gotta believe otherwise.... As long as I find love grace and forgiveness when I look inside, I will keep looking in the mirror and keep sharing. Peace
LilShortMidget What are we supposed to do? All we can do is wait for when, one day, our generation is the majority because currently, we compete with the older generations who trust the television and keeps voting in corrupt politicians who keep the status quo going, and insure that nothing EVER changes.
This is my childhood from when I was 4 and I was just listening to these type of songs at my favorite beach that I grew up on. It's sad to say that these kind of songs died out and now there's those crappy songs that just sing about stupid things like watch me. As far as I know I can make a hip hop song about me fucking a shoe and I can get whitelisted from a bunch of recording stations. It's so stupid!!
But we can change it. We can fight. We have way more power than anyone realizes we start in our own country and then spread it to the rest of the world. We do have the power, but its means putting aside our differences and comin together and fighting
When I was a teenager listening to this song in the cinema while I waited for the film to start, I didn't pay attention to it. But now I am a grown-up and it's my national anthem.
This world has changed but not Way it should. So we keep on waiting for the world to change for everyone. Just keep on waiting for this world to change.💕🙏💞
I fight for this song to be the anthem of the world today.. especially after this year. it's so true and completely fits the state of the way things are... and I really relate to the quote "it's not that we dont care. We just know that the fight ain't fair" really hits home to me
We've been waiting and waiting on the world to change, but nothing will change if we just idly sit back and wait for it. We... you, me, all of us must do what we can to right the wrongs of this world. Every little thing we do helps because, together, we ARE the world. Great song with a good message, John!
we are the world. we have to change beginning with us. We have to stop tolerating hatred and brutality and divisions among us based on differences. Time to build bridges, right?
Acting on changing the world ... we are getting there surely, a little slow but the world got very dark ! Praise to all helping change the world from Dark to Light @@ Yes !!!!!
I sang this at my aunt and uncles wedding when i was 15 and got told by the strange arrangement (thats a local band where im from. For those wondering im from pine island florida.) I should sing in their band for a bit (i grew up with the lead guitarist and singer they are twins and like uncles to me i love them so much!!) I ended up singing with them and teaching kids how to play guitar and sing for community service for a long time
It's almost 2018 and I feel like our generation will change the world. I'm 22 and I feel like love is the answer. Anybody crazy enough to agree? It's the most hated word but feared by all. It's only how much you choose to see. Love conquers all.
I hope you are right and PRAY that it could be so easy, But truth be told that's what my generation also thought. If it was only that simple, Our world would have never gotten to where we are now. LOVE, PEACE, AND CHANGE!!!!!!
This song literally makes me cry, it opens my eyes and tells me wow this is the world we're living in right now. We need to WAKE UP, life is too short... Changes need to start happening now! I don't want this to be the world my (future child(ren)) to grow up in. I'm ready to make a change.
So, I text my friend telling him I'm waiting for my older sister to come home and he's like, "So, you're just waiting on the world to change, huh?" And I'm like, "I suppose..." Then he sends me this song. It all makes sense now.
I came here to listen to this masterclass because my beloved country Kenya is being destroyed by some evil people. We are tired of waiting and today we are the ones changing the world. #RejectFinanceBill2024
so many memories from this song I remember so clearly I was like 5 or 6 years old and I remember the nice bright and sunny summers me and my brother always went in the backyard to play in the sandbox we used to have my mom would always bring out this yellow radio and this song would play my mom would be planting flowers and stuff like that in the backyard good times I wish I could go back and relive that memory
One time I seen a homeless man at mcdonald’s and decided to get him a meal, he looked really hungry and just sad. I got him fries, a burger, and a drink, the way his eyes lit up when he seen me walking towards him. god i’ll never forget it, all he could say was “thank you” and “god bless you”, i said your welcome and walked away. soon as i got back in the car, this immediately started playing. gives me chills writing about it, i’ll never forget that memory.
This song is very inspirational but you can't wait forever because things will change and you won't be there with the change because your still waiting
We learned about the Great Depression in history, and when a saw a picture of unemployed men waiting for jobs, I thought they must be pre-writing this song in their heads.
It always saddens me to see the comments go cold on phenomenal music that should never die. I hope some people still listen. This message is what we could really use.
Time for the people to wake up! If not we are doomed to lose freedom. Once its lost we will never get it back. We will tell our grandkids about freedom and just how wonderful it was.
Grew up in the motor city man!, Detroit for the rest of ya. I'm still waiting on the world to change. Back to the way it was, sitting on the porch enjoying time with all colors!!. Trust,friendship, oneness was the way. Didn't see anything else. Still waiting for the world to change ✌
Wow.. I didn't know that John Mayer sang all of these songs.. I love all of his songs and never knew it was him.. Many years have passed and I am only realizing this now, hahaha
over 15 years and this song is still 100% relevant. We keep waiting....
Yeah this song is way more relatable now than it was since this describes the pandemic and war in Ukraine very well, it mentions a lot of true facts that we face everyday that we may have been blind to in the past.
@@reminiscer15 i also feel like its the one unifying factor, it doesn't matter what you believe or who you support this song supports it.
@@jokestermasteroflaughter7754 Yep I agree.
1:18 - 1:28 truer words have never been spoken
"And when you trust your television what you get is what you got cause when they own the information they can bend it all they want"
That's so true
That made me change my views of the news. This lyric explains why the weather channel's anyways wrong!
Yeah, cause it’s all owned by the same small group of rich guys.
Khrystian Griffin People say CNN are liars. People says Fox News are liars. All of them are
noone really wants to report real news anymore
True
This hits different in 2020. Been listening to this song for 11 years.
when you trust your television what you get is what you got cause when they own the information they can bend it all they want
we need like a dark version in a minor key for 2021
Girl yes!
“It’s hard to beat the system when we’re standing at a distance”
Hit me different this year too love! I feel ya.. keep holding love and light for others that aren't there yet 💜 much love!
Hell yes
Is anyone still waiting on the world to change in 2020
y e s
Nope not now. It did😳
Dragon Slayer33
I’m not waiting for anything, I plan on changing it right now.
@@selfloathinglosermajordepr972 damn what a UA-cam name brother!
Dragon Slayer33 yes
The world definitely changed.. Just not the way anyone pictured it.
so damn true
Damn Straight!
The world's still young hun. I know the futures scary but we cant just lay down and let it take us. Humans are cockroaches remember. If we can survive in +50c or -50c and still find time to be happy and exist then we'll survive whatever tantrum the worlds currently having
Trump as President is definitely not helping
Robbie Landrey He’s been president for 3 years so far.
Is anyone else here in 2020 during the protests and riots that is happening all over the world?
12 years later and still waiting but i think the world is ready to stop waiting now
Yeah realizing that people aren't waiting anymore. We're actually making change.
@@Deadman6482 By causing chaos and lighting the world on fire...what a real good change
yup... they didn't get control of the U.S. presidency, and brexit happened, so they're not getting the fighting overseas they wanted, so they've brought the fighting home
@@Force1Com It must be fun to live in your fantasy world.
listening to this during the 2020 riots hits different

You mean protests?
refal ahmad it’s not just protests going on there are also riots too

BA P btw it is rioting rioting has a difference from protesting protesting is holding a sign and shouting rioting is burning buildings down and looting all rioting is the same there is no type of rioting
How prophetic and spot on these lyrics turned out to be. Never paid this tune much attention before.
This song has a wonderful message. Millions of people know about things going wrong with the world, but we do nothing about it simply because we aren't forced to and we feel powerless. Now imagine if everyone in the world picked up one piece of trash every day. Every individual has power, and people like John Mayer are the ones who inspire people to start doing something about the wrongs in this world.

This will happen when hearts are turned to YESHUA!
If you're wasted trying to remember the days that were easy, knowing you'll never get them again, but appreciating that they existed
I'm with you.
Yaaas! Me too!
Lol fuck man that really hit me right now. Thanks for this comment ! .....And we keep waiting !
I did not know the world to change
yup
This comment speaks to my soul.
This is probably one of the top 10,most true song written in the decade.
If everyone waits for the world to change it never will.
it means that him and his friends are awaken and they are waiting for the sheep people to awake and figure out that the gov and mainstream media is corrupt and crooked. the fight aint fair" they can bend it all they want" we see everthing thats going wrong whith those and who LEAD it"
wait or act the world change every day
Dumbass sheple
Theresa T it's not that we don't care we just know the fight ain't fair
That's the point of what this song about
"It's not that we don't care, we just know the fight ain't fair."
The fight is only unfair because people think that way. We outnumber them by far.
William James It is unfair because they aren’t enough people really willing to fight. Most are too distracted by one thing or another.
Aaah this is so sad but true.
BUT we all have a choice everyday as long as we have breathe to look in the mirror and make that change.. one soul one step at a time.
Gotta believe otherwise....
As long as I find love grace and forgiveness when I look inside, I will keep looking in the mirror and keep sharing.
Peace
'Cause when they own they information, they can bend it all they want.' So brilliant and so, so true!
Liberals
@@familyyoutube2460 No, conservatives. Their favorite source of “news”, Fox News, is pure propaganda.
To the idiots keep repeating "we have to make it change" HE STATES THAT. He is stating how lazy we are by not actually doing something, hence the WE.
True, “it’s not that we don’t care, we just know that the fight ain’t fair”
LilShortMidget What are we supposed to do? All we can do is wait for when, one day, our generation is the majority because currently, we compete with the older generations who trust the television and keeps voting in corrupt politicians who keep the status quo going, and insure that nothing EVER changes.
@@SomeGuyWhoPlaysGames333 the song does say "one day our generation is gonna rule to population"
Who's still waiting for the world to change?
I am! We're making progress little by little
It's April 8th 2020. The world has definitely changed. But nobody wanted it to change like THIS.
True
Well some of us did
We definately waiting on the world to change right now in 2020
This song always played in the car when I was like 6-9 years old and it brings back memoreies
me too
+QTip XD brings back old memories

I too remember listening to this song when I was 7-8 years old. It was a catchy song.
BABY ALEX same
Quarantantine brought me here.
I hope we get through this pandemic real soon.
We are dealing with Covid-19 Now, but you just wait for Covid-20
We must stop waiting. This is the most important song of our generation. What will we do?
We can't change the world, but we can change the hearts and minds of all who live in.
Ok but that's literally the message. Did you not listen?
If only it were easy
But we can change it. We can fight. We have way more power than anyone realizes we start in our own country and then spread it to the rest of the world. We do have the power, but its means putting aside our differences and comin together and fighting
STILL FUCKING ACCURATE TIL THIS FUCKING DAY!!!!! HOW LONG DO WE HAVE TO WAIT?????????
Is anyone still waiting with me?
Yep :/
Yep.
yes
I'm starting to think we will never stop 😕
Still here
This song hits hard when a war is happening 😢
Is anyone still waiting on the world to change in 2019? ❤❤
Yep
Trying to change it
I want the world to change back 90s till 2003 era. I want those era and that machine.

This song is still fitting in 2021.Were still," Waiting on the world to change."
This song speaks, sings if you like, the truth.

Im done with all this war bullcrap!!!!!!We all need to become friends!!!!!!!!Nothing bad would happen!!!!!!!!
Yes, because its just that simple.

+Captain Jakob Hughes for humanity it is physically impossible for us all to b friends
i never said it would not be easy,it would be a challenge but if we passed that limit we could do anything
Your age is not the point right now it's your Holy Spirit ☆Light that matters to GOD♡
I keep waiting but I'm like a rock in the river being eroded by the flow of the rushing waters that have been my own sign
It’s 2020 and I definitely am waiting for the world to change.
Fuck, this is an incredible song.
The world will never change for the better unless we all unite and live together
Post pandemic time, now is when the world needs to stand together for positive change more than ever, one can always continue to hope 🤞
This was the song that put me onto John Mayer. I heard it in 5th grade 12 years ago and it just spoke truths too me at such a young age.
13 years and this song is still on point !
Those drums have some serious 60s vibes.
???????? How?
This song sounds a little like Marvin Gaye's What's Going On.
Acting on changing the world ... we are getting there surely, a little slow but the world got very dark ! Praise to all helping change the world from Dark to Light @@ Yes !!!!!
So nostalgic... this used to be my favorite song as a kid! I still remember dancing to this CD in my living room
I sang this at my aunt and uncles wedding when i was 15 and got told by the strange arrangement (thats a local band where im from. For those wondering im from pine island florida.) I should sing in their band for a bit (i grew up with the lead guitarist and singer they are twins and like uncles to me i love them so much!!)

TheAlmightyBipper no duh 🙄
Arguably one of the best songs of all time.
Who's got this song on repeat in 2018
"It's hard to beat the system
When your standing from a distance "
Come together in these times
"Cause when they own the information oh they can bend it all they want".....Big Tech is not your friend!!!
I heard this song when I was 5...so damn nostalgic
I had this on my small mp3 player when I was little I played it when I was sad..
MOVED! CHECK PINNED FOR NEW ACC! - Same! I was always on my way home in the car from my grandma's and It would be night and this would come on

This song proves its own truth more and more as time passes.
Still waiting in 2018😕
2023 - nice to see the comment timeline, I wonder when this song will make no sense anymore. love and light
When I was a little kid I loved this song, and now I understand why
2018 and still waiting
STILL
It's gotten to the point where we can't wait anymore. We are in a world that demands action and voices.
When your waiting for Jesus to return. ✝️✝️✝️
And we're still waiting 😔❤️. This song is so nice💯
Lets not wait on the world to change. Lets be the change we wish to see. YOUR LIFE MATTERS

I LOVE this song! It's my new favorite!
This song is very inspirational but you can't wait forever because things will change and you won't be there with the change because your still waiting
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. -John Mayer.
We learned about the Great Depression in history, and when a saw a picture of unemployed men waiting for jobs, I thought they must be pre-writing this song in their heads.
When they own the information they can bend it all they want. Don't trust what you hear and only half of what you see
Perfect for what's going on in this wicked world
It always saddens me to see the comments go cold on phenomenal music that should never die. I hope some people still listen. This message is what we could really use.
Time for the people to wake up! If not we are doomed to lose freedom. Once its lost we will never get it back. We will tell our grandkids about freedom and just how wonderful it was.
I was 6 years old when I was waiting.
Its been nearly 8 years and I'm still waiting on the world to change.
same man. I loved john as a kid, love him now.
we have all been waiting and were done
I too dreamed of political revolution at 6 years old. I'll take "things that never happened" for 500, Alex.
waiting on the world to change is an error make the world change for the better
Grew up in the motor city man!, Detroit for the rest of ya. I'm still waiting on the world to change. Back to the way it was, sitting on the porch enjoying time with all colors!!. Trust,friendship, oneness was the way. Didn't see anything else. Still waiting for the world to change ✌
Wow.. I didn't know that John Mayer sang all of these songs.. I love all of his songs and never knew it was him.. Many years have passed and I am only realizing this now, hahaha
Great song. It'd be the perfect song to listen too when driving in the car up by a lake in the summertime. On a weekend afternoon. Very relaxing.
I think it's kinda sad you think it's relaxing.
i dont care how old this song is I LOVE IT :D whenever im sad i just listen to this
This song can almost make you want to cry
2018 still here
