Verse
D#
He was running down the street
D#
When they shot him in his tracks
G#4 G#9
About the only thing agreed upon
G#4 G#9
Is he ain't coming back
D#
There won't be any trial
D#
So the air it won't be cleared
G#4 G#9
There's just two sides calling names
G#4 G#9
Out of anger out of fear
D#
If you say it wasn't racial
D#
When they shot him in his tracks
G#4 G#9
Well I guess that means that you ain't black
G#4 G#9
It means that you ain't black
D#
I mean Barack Obama won
D#
And you can choose where to eat
G#4 G#9
But you don't see too many white kids lying
G#4 G#9
Bleeding on the street
[Verse 2]
D#
In some town in Missouri
D#
But it could be anywhere
G#4 G#9
It could be right here on Ruth Street
G#4 G#9
In fact it's happened here
D#
And it happened where you're sitting
D#
Wherever that might be
G#4 G#9
And it happened last weekend
G#4 G#9
And it will happen again next week
D#
And when they turned him over
D#
They were surprised there was no gun
G#4 G#9
I mean he must have done something
G#4 G#9
Or else why would he have run
D#
And they'll spin it for the anchors
D#
On the television screen
G#4 G#9
So we can shrug and let it happen
G#4 G#9
Without asking what it means
[Chorus]
D#
What it means?
D#
What it means?
[Verse 3]
D#
Then I guess there was protesting
D#
And some looting in some stores
G#4 G#9
And someone was reminded that
G#4 G#9
They ain't called colored folks no more
D#
I mean we try to be politically
D#
Correct when we call names
G#4 G#9
But what's the point of post-racial
G#4 G#9
When old prejudice remains?
D#
And that guy who killed that kid
D#
Down in Florida standing ground
G#4 G#9
Is free to beat up on his girlfriend
G#4 G#9
And wave his brand new gun around
D#
While some kid is dead and buried
D#
And laying in the ground
D#
With a pocket full of skittles
[Chorus]
D#
What it means?
D#
What it means?
[Verse 4]
D#
Astrophysics at our fingertips
D#
And we're standing at the summit
G#4 G#9
And some man with a joystick
G#4 G#9
Lands a rocket on a comet
D#
We're living in an age
D#
Where limitations are forgotten
G#4 G#9
The outer edges move and dazzle us
G#4 G#9
But the core is something rotten
D#
And we're standing on the precipice
D#
Of prejudice and fear
G#4 G#9
We trust science just as long
G#4 G#9
As it tells us what we want to hear
D#
We want our truths all fair and balanced
D#
As long as our notions lie within it
G#4 G#9
There's no sunlight in our asses
G#4 G#9
And our heads are stuck up in it
D#
And our heroes may be rapists
D#
Who watch us while we dream
G#4 G#9
But don't look to me for answers
G#4 G#9
Cuz I don't know what it means
[Chorus]
D#
What it means?
D#
What it means?
