John Mayer – Waiting on the World to Change
說真的這首歌很消極也很寫實
一個人的力量不能改變全世界
所以我們只好坐著等世界改變…

1..2..3…
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 would’ve 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 fight ain’t fair
So we keep on waiting (waiting)
Waiting on the world to change
Interlude
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
No, 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.
Five For Fighting – World
相較於上一首
這首歌多少帶點希望
相信積極思考的力量
就某方面而言
我也是相信的
因為…
如果一件事情我能看到最壞的結果
那麼結果也不可能再更壞了
是悲觀或樂觀也不能改變它
那麼我至少能夠選擇在結果來臨之前
樂觀地看待每一件事情
讓自己好過一點..
舒服一點..
快樂一點..
這樣就算最壞的結果來臨
我也不會感到意外
因為早有心理準備了…
Got a package full of wishes
A time machine, a magic wand
A globe made out of gold
No instructions or commandments,
Laws of gravity or indecisions to uphold
Printed on the box I see: ACME’s Build a World to Be.
Take a chance, grab a piece
Help me to believe it
What kind of world do you want
Think anything
Let’s start at the start
Build a masterpiece
Be careful what you wish for
History starts now
Should there be people or peoples
Money, funny pedestals
For fools who never pay
Raise your army, choose your steeple
Don’t be shy, the satellites can look the other way
Lose the earthquakes, keep the faults
Fill the oceans without the salt
Let every man own his own hand.
Can you dig it baby?
What kind of world do you want
Think anything
Let’s start at the start
Build a masterpiece
Be careful what you wish for
History starts now
Sunlight’s on the bridge
Sunlight’s on the way
Tomorrow’s calling
There’s more to this than love
What kind of world do you want
(x3)
Think anything
Let’s start at the start
Build a masterpiece
History starts now
Starts now
Be careful what you wish for
Start now
Now…
