Waiting for the World to Change

I keep hearing this song, "Waiting on the World to Change" (mostly because I just bought the John Mayer CD). It's becoming a song that defines my generation and how we feel about stuff. Its not so great when people tell you what you think, or pick someone else to speak for you.

But more than anything I get annoyed that John Mayer, and my generation, frankly, want to wait for the world to change. "One Day" things will be different. "One Day" WE will be in control, and then things will be fair, and then the world will change. Until then, we'll wait. What???

History shows us that, really, the world doesn't seem to change. People in power do things that other people don't like. One group hates another, nations teeter on the brink of war while others go about their daily business, trying to "get their's" while the getting is good, before someone else takes it. And you know, you know they will.

"Evil wins while Good Men do nothing." Or in this case, wait for the world to change.
