Waiting on the World to Change

Normally I don't talk, much less blog, about politics. But with the upcoming elections on Tuesday looming over my head, I felt the need to get some things off my chest.

Mostly, I feel the need to express my total disappointment in the sea of mediocracy that are our candidates. Usually, I feel one stands out above the rest, but this year I am just so terribly confused and dissolutioned.

I mean the cost of gas is sky-rocketing, the housing market is in the toilet, healthcare is a joke, jobs are hard to come by. But where is our money going? Foreign relations.

I just am not sure that anyone can get us out of the mess that is the US right now. I am tired of being the world police, when are we going to fix OUR problems? And people come up and talk about change, and revolution, and "reaganesque thinking" and such. But how much of that is just blowing smoke up our behinds?

I know that my generation of people are the ones that generally don't vote. But at this point, can you really blame them?

Bottom-line: Tuesday is coming up, and I have no idea what the heck I am going to do.

I feel my thoughts, as usual, are best said by my good friend, John Mayer:
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
