JB is all for World Peace

You know that song by Justin Bieber - Pray - that makes some people cry? Well, I guess I'm immune to the *sarcasm* bright light of hope that is instilled in some when they hear that song. Because, honestly, it doesn't say that much.

I just can't sleep tonight, knowing that things ain't right
It's in the papers, it's on the TV, it's everywhere that I go
Children are crying, soldiers are dying, some people don't have a home

But I know there's sunshine behind that rain
I know there's good times behind that pain, hey
Can you tell me how I can make a change?

I close my eyes and I can see a better day
I close my eyes and pray  (x2)

First of all. How can there be all that stuff he described where he goes? Renovated houses and living spaces, concerts, dates - cities? Secondly - he knows there's sunshine behind the sadness? Yeah, right. I'm pretty sure that Justin Bieber has no clue what those kinds of sadness feels like; he can only say "Hope! Believe in yourself! Dream!" because - hel-lo - he's a freaking superstar that gets tons of adoring fan mail and makes a living by proclaiming his love in front of thousands of people, making the aforementioned fans swoon even though he already HAS A GIRLFRIEND. What does he know about homeless people, orphans and war?

Also, I have a problem with how it sounds like he's saying that "Do you feel sad? Dejected? Or, I don't know, do you suffer a disorder or live in Africa and have no clean water? It gets better!" And flashes a perky smile. Like he's all superior, the good guy who says that, though we accept our problems and we are ones that feel the pain, he (in the midst of his famous-singer-who-never-missed-a-meal-or-had-financial-problems world) is all positive and sunny and "Why so pessimistic?"

Yes, I can tell you how you can make a change. You can make donations to charities, with the millions you earn onstage. You can join Free the Children. You can help homeless people on the street. You can make speeches or speak in interviews that will get published in the newspaper so that you can use your influence to spread awareness. Or have you not noticed how so many preteen girls look up to you with awe and admiration?

Naw, it must have escaped your notice.
