 Someone right now,
Is leaving their apartment,
Lookin' down at the street,
N wonderin' where there car went.
Someone in a car,
Sittin' at a signal,
In front of a restaraunt,
Starin' 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 the rent at a bar getting plastered.
Now hes gotta walk fourteen blocks,
To work at a shop where he's about to get fired.
Someone right now,
Is looking pretty tired,
Starin' at a laptop,
Tryin' to get inspired.
Somebody,
Livin' right across the street,
Just wrote the best thing that shes written all week,
But her best friend's coughin' up blood in the sink,
He 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 its like to be right there in his shoes.
[Chorus]
But no,
I'm just takin' it in
Out the window of a hotel bedroom again,
Tomorrow I'll be gone,
I dont know when I'll be back,
And 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 droppin' 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,
Hopin' that he gets shipped back breathin',
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 someones 25-to-life-ing
Standin' on the corner,
With their thumb up hitchikin',
Stratching off a lotto ticket,
Hopin' for a real winner,
Sneakin' through the boarder just to work,
And eat a real dinner.
Right now someone wishes they were you and I,
Instead of second guessin' fatal thoughts of quiet suicide
But right now,
I'm staring out the window at a fiend,
With holes in his arm,
And holes in his jeans,
He pulled out his cigarette and sparked the light,
And walked right around the corner just outta my sight
[Re-Chorus]
But yo,
I'm just takin' it in
From the second story 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,
[Repeat]
Yeah,
Right now somebody sittin' in the darkness,
Tryin' to figure out how to put some heat in they apartment,
But they got a little mattress,
A little carpet,
And they appreciate it,
Cause some people on a park bench.
You seen 'em when you rushin' to get to the office,
Wife ride by 'em when she comin' from the market
Right now somebody coming out the pocket,
Tryin' to dump that rock they runnin' round the block wit',
Same time the cops is raisin' the Glock with aim to fill your legs,
And you're back with some hot shit
Right now somebody strugglin' to stop this man,
Who's kickin' and punchin' and cussin' at the doctors.
Down the hall the child takin' it's first breath,
The doctors ain't even passed him to the nurse yet,
Yo I wonder if he understands what it's worth yet,
Life, the time spent while we here on the earth,
Yet the answer to the question that we all seek,
Can be found, it depend on how free y'all think
Right now it's somebody who ain't eat all week,
That would kill for the shit that you throw away in the street,
I guess ones man's trash is the next man's treaure.
One man's pain is the next man's pleasure,
One say infinity the next say forever,
Right now erybody got to get it together man.
Im just taking it in,
In another strange hotel lobby again,
With my luggage on my back,
I don't know where I'm at,
I'm in world where we all change just like that,
Like that,
Like that,
Just like that,
Like that,
Just like that,
Just like that,
Just like that.
[repeat first chorus]
