I sense a lot of sarcasm in these lyrics. Initially it feels like a very self pitying, whoa is me, I'm a victim type of a song.

Then it dawned on me that maybe the point of the song is to be a kick in the ass to realize how absurd it is to wait, and to perhaps inspire people to be the change and make the change.
