| Fashion plates and running mates
|
| And people in the news
|
| Social snipers, gossip vipers
|
| Keep the facts confused
|
| Horoscopes and punks on dope
|
| And students with demands
|
| Heads of state communicate
|
| But never reach a plan
|
| Now you show me the man
|
| That says he understands about everything
|
| 'Cause issues and answers
|
| Are far too advanced for me
|
| I’m checking the files for the last time
|
| I smiled about anything
|
| I’m joining a movement with hopes
|
| To improve my scene
|
| But now I’m waiting for the change
|
| Ohm I’ve been waiting for the change
|
| I’ve been waiting for the change
|
| Waiting so long
|
| Bedroom floggers, status joggers
|
| Those who exercise
|
| Jesus vendors, sex offenders
|
| Kings of merchandise
|
| Auto workers, soda jerkers
|
| Man out on the street
|
| Lady killers, pompous pillars
|
| Of society
|
| But you show me the man
|
| That says he understands about everything
|
| 'Cause issues and answers
|
| Are far too advanced for me
|
| I’m checking the files for the last time
|
| I smiled about anything
|
| I’m joining a movement with hopes
|
| To improve my scene
|
| But now I’m waiting for the change
|
| Oh, I’ve been waiting for the change
|
| I’ve been waiting for the change
|
| Waiting so long
|
| 'Cause I’m tired of seeing the mediocre
|
| Become the medium
|
| And I’m tired of being treated like
|
| I was blind and deaf and dumb
|
| And I’m tired of hearing what someone’s doing
|
| When nothing’s being done
|
| And I’m tired of being tired
|
| And I’m not the only one
|
| No, no, no
|
| Prayer less preachers, thoughtless teachers
|
| Fail to educate
|
| Time commanders, mind expanders
|
| Still hallucinate
|
| Politicians, expeditions
|
| To the south of France
|
| Three-time losers trying to prove
|
| They’re worth just one more chance
|
| But now I’m waiting for the change
|
| Oh, I’ve been waiting for the change
|
| I’ve been waiting for the change
|
| Waiting so long |
