Clayton Mayer (/ˈmeɪ.ər/MAY-ər; born October 16, 1977) is an American singer, songwriter,
guitarist, and record producer. Born and raised in Fairfield County, Connecticut, Mayer
attended Berklee College of Music in Boston,
but left and moved to Atlanta in 1997 with Clay Cook.
Together, they formed a short-lived two-man band called Lo-Fi Masters. After
their split, Mayer continued to play local clubs, refining his skills and
gaining a following. After his appearance at a 2001 South by Southwest Festival, he was signed
to Aware Records,
and eventually to Columbia Records, which released his first extended play
Inside Wants Out. His following two studio
albums—Room for
Squares(2001) and Heavier
Things(2003)—performed well commercially, achieving multi-platinum status. In
2003, he won the Grammy Award
for Best Male Pop Vocal Performance for his single "Your Body Is a Wonderland".
By
2005, Mayer had moved away from the acoustic music that characterized his early
records, and begun performing the blues and rock music that had originally influenced him as a
musician. He collaborated with blues artists such as B. B. King,
Buddy Guy,
and Eric Clapton.
Forming the John Mayer
Trio, he released a live album, Try!, in 2005 and his
third studio álbum Continuum in 2006. Both albums received
positive reviews, and Continuum earned Mayer a 2007 Grammy Award for Best Pop Vocal Album.
He also won Best Male Pop
Vocal Performance for "Waiting on the World to Change". That
album was followed by Battle Studies in 2009, a return to pop,
with a Battle Studies World Tour.(...)
"Waiting
on the World to Change" is a song by American singer-songwriter John Mayer.
It was released as the lead single from his third studio album, Continuum(2006), on August 1, 2006. The
song enjoyed commercial success as a single and won the Grammy for Best Male Pop Vocal Performance
at the 49th Grammy Awards.
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 on 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 on 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
And when you trust
your television
What you get is what
you got
Cause when they own
the information
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 on 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
Now 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.
