Assignment #5 English song


Sum 41 - Still Waiting


So am I still waiting
For this world to stop hating
Can't find a good reason
Can't find hope to believe in

Drop dead a bullet to my head
Your words are like a gun in hand
You can't change the state of the nation
We just need some motivation
Three times I see no conviction
Just lies and more contradiction

So tell me what would you say
I'd say it's time (to listen)

So am I still waiting
For this world to stop hating
Can't find a good reason
Can't find hope to believe in

Ignorance and Understanding
We're the first ones to jump in line
Out of step for what we believe in
But whos left? To start the pleading
How far will we take this
It's not hard to see through the sickness

So tell me what would you say
I'd say it's time (to listen)


So am I still waiting
For this world to stop hating
Can't find a good reason
Can't find hope to believe in

This can't last forever
Time won't make things better
I feel so alone
Can't help myself
And no one knows
If this is worthless
Tell me: so

What have we done
We're in a war that can't be won
This can't be real
I don't know what to feel

So am I still waiting
For this world to stop hating
Can't find a good reason
Can't find hope to believe in

So am I still waiting
For this world to stop hating
Can't find a good reason
Can't find hope to believe in


This song still waiting is sung by the band SUM 41,the vocalist is Deryck Whibley,he is from Canada.

1.bullet
    This bullet hit the tree.
2.conviction
    I have the conviction that he is right.
3.contradiction
    There is a contradiction between that two guys.

When the first time I listen this song still waiting I have a big expression to it,that have strong rhythm and awesome melody.
After I see its music video,I found that this music video have unique style,and this song also have profound meaning. 
  
I think the best music need send singer`s thought and what they want to tell for every audience.
