Description
Ya'll can practice your academy awards acceptance speech, but just remember that
In downtown Denver there are poets who heat up their dinners on radiators and wash their clothes by hand for quarters to save for buses and homeless people
At midnight, in San Antonio, a man holds a party because the body warmth will heat up his house just long enough to sleep through
In downtown Portland, a college student sleeps in someone else's bed every night just so she can continue her education
In downtown Seattle a man hears a poem that will keep him alive for one more day

Downtown, come and taste the death of downtown
Until there's nothing left of downtown
The hipsters never speak of downtown

Someone's got some confidence
That they can make it on high clouds
Now he sits with the consequence
Of no one coming around
And no one really cares, cause it's just...

Downtown, Economy crash into downtown
Suburbia is spreading into downtown
Watch it fall

At midnight in Dallas, a DJ sells half his record collection, to feed his child he already owes the government for supporting
At midnight in San Diego, an illegal immigrant puts American cash into an envelope, to be mailed back to his family in Mexico
At midnight in Oklahoma City, a girl gets drunk for the first time and realizes that it's the best thing to do when there's nothing else to do
At midnight in downtown Chicago, a white man kills a white woman, but a black man will go to jail for it
At midnight in Campbell, California, a woman prays to her God for the first time in years because of something she heard on the news

She really wants tomorrow to be a better day.
