Right Now
Someone, right now, is leaving their apartment looking down at the street, wondering where their 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, theres somebody on the curb who really needs a jacket. spent half a grand at a bar getting plastered. now hes gotta walk, fourteen blocks to work at a shop where hes 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 just wrote the best things shes written all week
but her best friends coughing up blood in the sink, cant even think what happened feeling so confused and he knows it looks bad but there nothing he can do. I wonder what its like to be right there in his shoes
But now, im just taking it in, out the window of a hotel bedroom again, tommorrow ill be gone, I dont know when ill be back, and this world everything can change just like that.
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 hes 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 and is stading on the corner with their thumb up hitchiking. stratching off a lotto ticket hoping for a real winner ,sneaking through the water just to work and to 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 im staring at the window at a frame, with holes in his arm and holes in his jeans. he pulled out his siger and sparked the light and walked right around the corner just outta my sight.
Im just taking it, in another strange hotel lobby again, put my luggage on my back, i dont know where im at, im in world where we all change just like that.
