Someone right now is leaving their apartmentLooking down at the street and wondering where their car wentSomeone in a car is sitting at a signalIn front of a restaurant staring through the window atSomeone right now with their finger in their teethWho could use a little floss, right across the streetThere's somebody on the curb who really needs a jacketBut spent half the rent at a bar getting plasteredNow he's gotta walk fourteen blocksJust to work at a shop where he's about to get firedSomeone right now is looking pretty tired Staring at a laptop trying to get inspiredAs somebody living right across the streetJust wrote the best thing that she's written all weekBut her best friend's coughing up blood in the sinkHe can't even think what happened, feeling so confusedAnd he knows it looks bad but nothing he can do I wonder what it's like to be right there in his shoes but...Yo, I'm just taking it inOut the window of a hotel bedroom againTomorrow I'll be gone, I don't know when I'll be backBut in this world everything can change just like that...Somebody right now is dropping his voteInside a box trying to not get shot in his throatSongtexteFor the act of freedom, right now somebody's stuck in IraqHoping that he gets shipped back breathingIn a war but he's not really sure the reasonsSo we show our support when the press mislead himThough we mourn, remain proud, salute the troopsGet some, I know you boys got some work to doMeanwhile, right now someone's 25-to-life-ingStanding on a corner with their thumb up hitchhikingScratching off a lotto ticket hoping for a real winnerSneaking through the border just to work and eat a real dinnerRight now someone wishes they were you and IInstead of second-guessing fatal thoughts of quiet suicideBut right now I'm staring out the window at a fiendWith holes in his arm and holes in his jeansHe pulled out a cigarette and sparked a light And walked right around the corner just out of my sight but...I'm just taking it inFrom a second storey hotel window againThe TV's on and my bags are packedBut in this world everything can change just like thatYeah, right now somebody's sittin' in the darknessTryin' to figure how to put some heat in their apartmentBut they got a little mattress, little carpetAnd they appreciate it 'cause some people on a park benchYou see 'em rushing to get to the officeWife ride by 'em when she up from the marketRight now somebody comin' out the pocketTryin' to dump that rock they runnin' round the block withSame time the cops is raisin' the glockWith aim to fill your legs and your back with some hot shitRight now somebody's struggling to stop this manThat's kicking and punching and cussing at the doctorsDown the hall a child is takin' its first breathThe doctors ain't even passed him to the nurse yetYo, I wonder of he understand what it's worth yetLife, the time spent while we here on the earth yetThe answers to the questions we all seekCan be found, it depend on how free y'all thinkRight now, it's somebody who ain't eat all weekThat would kill for the shit you throw away in the streetI guess one man's trash is a next man's treasureOne man's pain is a next man's pleasureOne says infinity the next say foreverRight now everybody got to get it together manI'm just taking it inIn another strange hotel lobby againWith my luggage on my back, I don't know where I'm atI'm in a world where it all changes just like thatLike that Yo, I'm just taking it inOut the window of a hotel bedroom againTomorrow I'll be gone, I don't know when I'll be backBut in this world everything can change just like that Aus Songtexte Mania
