These are all my friends

We’re all misunderstood

The people call us heroes

So that the people can feel good

Now we see everything that’s going wrong

With the world and those who lead it

But no matter how they screw it up

We rise above and treat it

And 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 fix the system

When you try but no one listens

So we keep waiting (waiting)

Waiting on the world to change

Now if we had the power

To keep our colleagues safe from harm

They would have never lacked a face mask

No more violence on our wards

But when you trust the politicians

What you get is what you got

And when our health is just a business

It’s just the profits that 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

We can’t stop the way we care

Though we 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

But if we fight this fight together

We could change the world forever

So let’s stop waiting (waiting)

Waiting on the world to change

We can’t keep waiting (waiting)

Waiting on the world to change

So let’s stop waiting (waiting)

Waiting on the world to change

Waiting on the world to change

Waiting on the world to change

Time to help the world to change
