I don't do this very often, take lyrics and post them. These are the words of John Mayer, they need to be seen, they need to be heard.
I've highlighted my favorite points. I just think it's funny, the neocons still don't see it, they still don't get it. Damn good thing they're only 18% strong!
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 is 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)
Waiting on the world to change
We keep on waiting (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)
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
When you trust your television
What you get is what you got
‘Cuz’ when they own the information ooohhh,
They can bend it all they want
So while we're waiting (waiting)
Waiting on the world to change
We keep on waiting (waiting)
Waiting on the world to change
It's not that we don't care
We just know that the pot ain't fair
So we keep waiting (waiting)
Waiting on the world to change
(Guitar solo)
We're still waiting (waiting)
Waiting on the world to change
We keep on waiting (waiting)
Waiting on the world to change
One day our generation
Is gonna rule the population
John Mayer
Waiting on the World to Change

Nice but I might suggest we include something about taking action to effect change into the song. Just waiting is not going to speed the process.
I agree. But what? Impeachment? That's a slap on the wrist. This lot has committed more crimes against humanity than Saddam. They own the media, they have given billions of tax payers dollars to their friends. (I'm working on that piece now) They spy on basic Americans, then demand that it's for our own good. They are a fear mongering, war starting group of greedy people who care nothing for their country nor the voters who put them in their position.
So, what is the answer? What can we do?
We can continue to do what we are doing. Grassroots action donating to candidates that share out views and passion. Keeping the Internet alive with our posts and on and on. I agree that we are in a tough place but we have to continue to reinforce the idea that it our country and our wants, needs and desires count just as much as those that support the current regime's agenda. We need to yell and scream. You are doing your part and I will do mine as will thousands and thousands of others. None of us will have the impact of Kos or Atrios but we all do have an impact. We are chaninging the country.
