Musical Addiction 2nd Edition - Waiting On The World To Change

John Mayer é o homem do momento, com o conseguidíssimo Continuum (o melhor dos álbuns que eu conheço dele), merecedor de dois Grammy´s (Melhor Álbum por Continuum e Melhor Interpretação Masculina por Waiting On The World To Change). Esta é a música que me viciou, ouço-a imensas vezes, às vezes em dose dupla (aquela bateria mata-me).

Conheci-o através do single Your Body Is A Wonderland, ainda me lembro de estar a ver o clip e de ficar vidrada, tanto pela música como pelo vídeo.
Guitarrista de alto gabarito, na onda Eric Clapton, dá a ideia de ser altamente inteligente... há o pormenor de namorar com... Jessica Simpson... a loira-burra por excelência... mas muito cómica no seu estilo.
Mas isso são pormenores, o que vale é a sua música e também as suas letras:

Waiting On The World To Change

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
Its 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 woulda never missed a Christmas
No more ribbons on the door
When you trust your television
What you get is what you got
'Cause when they own the information ooohhh,
They can bend it all they want

That's why 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 fight ain't fair
So we keep waiting (waiting)
Waiting on the world to change

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

So we keep on waiting (waiting)
Waiting on the world to change
