Waiting On The World To Change (featuring Ben Harper)

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

Belief

Is there anyone who
Ever remembers
Changin their mind from
The paint on a sign
Is there anyone who
Really recalls
Ever break your 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 goin easily

Belief is a beautiful armor
That makes for the heaviest sword
Like punchin underwater
You never can hit who you’re trying for
Some need the exhibiton
Some have to know they tried
It’s the chemical weapon
For the war that’s ragin on inside

Oh everyone believes
From emptyness to everything
Oh everyone believes
And no ones goin quietly

We’re never gonna win the world
We’re never gonna stop the war
We’re never gonna beat this if belief
Is what we’re fightin for

We’re never gonna win the world
We’re never gonna stop the war
We’re never gonna beat this if belief
Is what we’re fightin for

Is there anyone
You can ever remember
Who ever surrendered
With their life on the line

We’re never gonna win the world
We’re never gonna stop the war
We’re never gonna beat this if belief
Is what we’re fightin for

We’re never gonna win the world
We’re never gonna stop the war
We’re never gonna beat this if belief
Is what we’re fightin for

What takes a hundred thousand
Children in the sand
Belief can, belief can

What puts the folded flag
Inside his mothers hand
Belief can, belief can

Slow dancing in a burning room

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 to 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 nothin to me
baby, you're the only light I ever saw

I made the most of all the sadness
you'd be a bitch cuz you can
you try to hit me just hurt me
so you leave me feelin dirty cuz 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
burnin 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

Good Love is on the Way

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'll be 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
im workin on

good love is on the way
i'll be 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 dont need them any more
good love is on the way
good love is on the way
i'll be lonely but i know ill be ok
good love is on the way

I'm gonna find another you

It's really over
you made your stand
you got me cryin
as was your plan

oh my lonliness is through
Im 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 foreced to find anohter
I hope she looks like you
and shes nicer too

So go on baby
make your little getaway
my pride will keep me company
and you jsut gave yours all away
oh, now im gonna dress myself fow two
one's for me one's for someone new
I'm gonna do some things you wouldnt let me do
I'm gonna find another you

In Repair

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 its taking to 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 awhile
To wait for the wind to blow down on me
Hope that it takes with it my old ways
And brings a brand new life upon me
Oh its taking to 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

Ohhhh

Now i'm walking in the 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 its taking to 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
never really ready
I'm never really ready
I'm in repair
Im not together
but im getting there

I'm in repair
Im not together
but im getting there

I'm in repair
Im not together
but im getting there

I'm in repair
Im not together
but im getting there
