Love the melody on John Mayer's new song. *Hate* the lyrics...
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 that's 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 on the world to change
we keep on 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 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
and when you trust your television
what you get is what you got
cause when they own the information, oh
they can bend it all they want
that's why we're waiting
waiting on the world to change
we keep on 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 on waiting
waiting on the world to change
and we're still waiting
waiting on the world to change
we keep on waiting waiting on the world to change
one day our generation
is gonna rule the population
so we keep on waiting
waiting on the world to change
we keep on waiting
waiting on the world to change
Here's a thought. Be the change.

How about these lyrics?
Change
by Tracy Chapman
album: Where You Live (2005)
If you knew that you could die today
You saw the face of God and love
Would you change
Would you change
If you knew that love can’t break your heart
When your down so low you cannot fall
Would you change
Would you change
How bad, how good does it need to get
How many losses, how much regret
What chain reaction would cause an effect
Makes you turn around
Makes you try to explain
Makes you forgive and forget
Makes you change
Makes you change
If you knew that you could be alone
Knowing right, being wrong
Would you change
Would you change
If you knew that you could find a truth
That brings a pain that can’t be soothed
Would you change
Would you change
How bad, how good does it need to get
How many losses, how mush regret
What chain reaction would cause an effect
makes you turn around
make you try to explain
makes you forgive and forget
makes you change
makes you change
I sew up right
You can’t be bent
If it comes to blows
Are you so sure you won’t be crawling
Looking out for the good while it calling
While it’s calling
If everything you think you know
Makes your life unbearable
Would you change
Would you change
If you’d broken every rule and vow
and hard times come to bring you down
Would you change
Would you change
If you knew that you would die today
If you saw the face of God and love
Would you change
Would you change
If you saw the face of God and love
If you saw the face of God and love
Would you change
Would you change
I love Tracy. Definitely will hook that song up!
