Музыкальня поэзия  |  "Waiting On The World To Change" -- JOHN MAYER

Музыкант из американского штата Коннектикут JOHN MAYER вырос на музыке таких блюзовых гитаристов, как STEVE RAY VAUGHAN, B.B.KING, BUDDY GUY, JIMI HENDRIX, ERIC CLAPTON. Разумеется, это сказалось на его звучании и общей стилистической направленности. Хотя в музыке Мэйера всё довольно просто: поп-рок с лёгким оттенком блюза.

Альбомы “Room For Squares” (2001), “Heavier Things” (2003) стали одними из бестселлеров нового Тысячелетия. Кроме того, JOHN MAYER создал JOHN MAYER TRIO, играющее блюз-рок.

Альбом 2006 года Мэйера “Continuum” украшает композиция “Waiting On The World To Change”, наполненная повседневной философией обыденности…

“Waiting On The World To Change”

JOHN MAYER

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
It’s 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 would have never missed a Christmas
No more ribbons on their door
When you trust your television
What you get is what you got
‘Cuz’ when they own the information ooohhh,
They can bend it all they want

So while 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 pot 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
Know we keep on waiting (waiting)
Waiting on the world to change
We keep on waiting (waiting)
Waiting on the world to change
Waiting on the world to change
Waiting on the world to change
Waiting on the world to change
