Someone right now is leaving their apartment 
Looking down at the street wondering where there car went

Someone in the car sitting at a signal 
In front of a restaraunt staring through the window

At someone right now with their finger in their teeth 
Who could use a little floss... 

Right across the street 
There's somebody on the curb who really needs a jacket 
Spent half a grand at a bar getting plastered 
Now he's gotta walk fourteen blocks 
To work at a shop where he's about to get fired

Someone right now is looking pretty tired 
Staring at a laptop trying to get inspired

Somebody living right across the street 
She's wrote the best things, she's written all week 
But her best friend's coughing up blood in the sink 
Can't even think what happened 
Feeling so confused 
And he knows it looks bad 
But there's nothing he can do 
I wonder what it's like to be right there in his shoes

But no I'm just taking it in 
Out the window of a hotel bedroom again 
Tommorrow I'll be gone I don't know when I'll be back 
And in this world everything can change just like that, that, 
Just like that, just like that 
That, just like that, just like that

Yo somebody right now is dropping his vote 
Inside a box and trying not to get shot in his throat

For the act of freedom 
Right now somebody is stuck in Iraq 
Hoping that he gets shipped back breathing 
In a war that he's not really sure of the reasons 
So we show our support when the press mislead them 
Though we more then remain proud and salute the troops, 
Get some I know you boys got some work to do

Meanwhile right now someone's 25 to life 
And is stading on the corner with their thumb up hitchiking 
Scratching off a lotto ticket hoping for a real winner 
Sneaking through the water just to work and eat a real dinner

Right now someone wishes they were you were not 
Instead of second guessing freedom thoughts of quiet suicide

But right now I'm staring at the window at a frame 
With holes in his arm and holes in his jeans 
He pulled out a sigarette and sparked the light 
And walked right around the corner just outta my sight

But yo I'm just taking it in 
From the second storey hotel window again, 
The TV's on, and my bags are packed, 
But in this world everything can change just like that, 
Like that, like that, like that (x2)

Ya right now somebody sitting in the darkness 
Trying to figure out how to put some heat in their apartment 
But they got no matress no carpet 
And they appreciate it cause some people own apartments

You see them when [bad word] to get to the office 
Wife robbed blind when [bad word] from the market

Right now [bad word] out from the pocket 
Trying to dump that rock [bad word] around the block with 
At the same time the cops is raising the block 
With ain't for your legs and back with some hot [bad word] 
Right now somebody [bad word] to stop this man 
Who's kicking and punching and cussing at the doctors

Down the hall the child taking his first breath 
The doctors ain't even passed him to the nurse yet yo 
I wonder if he understands what its worth yet 
Like the time spent while we here on the earth yet 
The answer to the question that we all seek 
To be found at the general how all free your fate

Right now it's somebody who ain't eat all week 
That would kill for the [bad word] that you throw away in the street 
I guess ones man's trash is the next man's treasure 
One man's pain is the next man's pleasure 
One say infinity the next say forever 
Right now everybody got to get it together man

I'm just taking it in 
In another strange hotel lobby again 
Put my luggage on my back I dont know where I'm at 
I'm in world where we all change just like that,
