What does it take to change a cruel world? For starters, you need to identify the source of the improprieties and take aim at it. It never feels good to receive the short end of the stick, and that’s whether it’s politically, socially, or romantically. This week, Heit & Cheri dedicate the show to a soulful combination of artists who tackle topics from social disillusionment to lost love.
You’ll hear songs by Jessie J, John Mayer, Solomon Burke, Little Dragon, Nas, and Conetik.

Song 1: “Price Tag ” – Jessie J ft. B.o.B.
Seems like everybody’s got a price
I wonder how they sleep at night
When the sale comes first and the truth comes second
Just stop for a minute and smile
Why is everybody so serious?
Acting so damn mysterious
You got your shades on your eyes and your heels so high
That you can’t even have a good time
Everybody look to their left
Everybody look to their right
Can you feel that? Yeah
We’ll pay them with love tonight
It’s not about the money, money, money
We don’t need your money, money, money
We just wanna make the world dance
Forget about the price tag
Ain’t about the cha-ching, cha-ching
Ain’t about the ba-bling, ba-bling
Wanna make the world dance
Forget about the price tag
We need to take it back in time
When music made us all unite
And it wasn’t low blows and video hoes
Am I the only one gettin’ tired?
Why is everybody so obsessed?
Money can’t buy us happiness
Can we all slow down and enjoy right now
Guarantee we’ll be feelin’ alright
Everybody look to their left
Everybody look to their right
Can you feel that? Yeah
We’ll pay them with love tonight
It’s not about the money, money, money
We don’t need your money, money, money
We just wanna make the world dance
Forget about the price tag
Ain’t about the cha-ching, cha-ching
Ain’t about the ba-bling, ba-bling
Wanna make the world dance
Forget about the price tag
Yeah, yeah, well, keep the price tag and take the cash back
Just give me six strings and a half stack
And you can keep the cars, leave me the garage
And all I, yes, all I need are keys and guitars
And guess what, in 30 seconds I’m leaving to Mars
Yes, we leaving across these undefeatable odds
It’s like this man, you can’t put a price on life
We do this for the love, so we fight and sacrifice every night
So we ain’t gon’ stumble and fall, never
Waiting to see, a sign of defeat, uh uh
So we gon’ keep everyone moving their feet
So bring back the beat and then everybody sing, it’s not about
It’s not about the money, money, money
We don’t need your money, money, money
We just wanna make the world dance
Forget about the price tag
Ain’t about the cha-ching, cha-ching
Ain’t about the ba-bling, ba-bling
Wanna make the world dance
Forget about the price tag
It’s not about the money, money, money
We don’t need your money, money, money
We just wanna make the world dance
Forget about the price tag
Ain’t about the cha-ching, cha-ching
Ain’t about the ba-bling, ba-bling
Wanna make the world dance
Forget about the price tag
Yeah, yeah
Oh, forget about the price tag
- Cheri really likes Jessie J’s voice, and this song. Jessie J. also performs another version of this song in a New York subway station. It was awesome:
- Cheri liked the lyrics:
Seems like everybody’s got a price
I wonder how they sleep at night
When the sale comes first and the truth comes second
Just stop for a minute and smile
- Cheri feels like these lyrics encompass the theme of the entire song. She also liked the hook of the song.
- If you listen to a live version of Jessie J singing Price Tag, you can hear her creative runs near the end of the song.
- Heit’s favorite line was the following, because it points to everything being about the image. The concern over one’s image prevents them from being who they are and having a good time:
Why is everybody so serious?
Acting so damn mysterious
You got your shades on your eyes and your heels so high
That you can’t even have a good time
Song 2: “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 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)
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
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)
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
And 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
