Me and all my friends
      G             D
We're all misunderstood
     A                  Bm
They say we stand for nothing and
           G           D
There's no way we ever could
           A                 Bm
Now we see everything that's going wrong
           G                   D
With the world and those who lead it
        A                  Bm
We just feel like we don't have the means
   G              D
To rise above and beat it
        D
So we keep ...

It's hard to beat the system
           Bm7
When we're standing at a distance
            A        Bm
So we keep waiting (waiting)
                G         D
Waiting on the world to change

    D               Bm
Now if we had the power
               G                  D
To bring our neighbours home from war
                  A               Bm
They would have never missed a Christmas
        G                D
No more ribbons on their door
             D              Bm
And when you trust your television
         G               D
What you get is what you got
                A            Bm
'Cos when they own the information ohhh
         G                D
They can bend it all they want
         D
That's why we're

     D                 Em7
It's not that we don't care,
        Bm7           Em7
We just know that the fight ain't fair
               A
So we keep on waiting
