The music video for the song was directed by Philip Andelman and features Mayer walking along the East River while commissioned graffiti artists Futura_(graffiti_artist), Tats_Cru, and Daze spray paint messages relating to the song's content on New York City billboards. So in that sense it's become more of an acceptable thing to comment on because it's just so much of a white elephant." Music video On his decision to include a politically tinged song, he commented, "You cannot avoid war in life, you cannot avoid the fear of terrorism, you cannot avoid those things now, they are a part of everyday demeanor. Politics was a topic that Mayer had not previously tackled. John Mayer confirmed this feeling of discontent between the leaders and that led to an interview with The Advocate, explaining the song this way: "It's saying, 'Well, I'll just watch American Idol because I know that if I were engaged in changing anything for the better, or the better as I see it, it would go unnoticed or be completely ineffective.' A lot of people have that feeling." Even so, the song alludes to hope for the future, with the singer intoning that with his generation's ascension to power, things will change: He also laments the corruption among leaders: We just feel like we don't have the means However, he attributes this inaction to a lack of power: The song's theme centers on the singer and his generation's inaction in regard to current world conditions. Contrary to most popular music, the second snare backbeat of the second measure of the two-bar beat that repeats through most of the song features an accent on the "and" of "4", and not directly on "4". Another interesting fact is the accenting of the beats in the verses. The chord progression is I - vi - IV - I - V - vi - IV - I, and in the case of "Waiting on the World to Change", it is in the key of D. "Waiting on the World to Change" contains a highly popular chord progression often found in blues, rock and soul songs.
