John Mayer's Waiting on the World to Change

After listening to the song, and watching the video for this song, think about the following lyrics:

"it's hard to beat the system, when we're standing at a distance." How are you perpetuating this statement in your own life? 

"It's not that we don't care, we just know that the fight ain't fair," refers to the feeling that many of us think we're powerless in society. Do you feel powerless? It what way? What can you do to change that?
