Verse
C
He was running down the street
C
When they shot him in his tracks
F4 F9
About the only thing agreed upon
F4 F9
Is he ain't coming back
C
There won't be any trial
C
So the air it won't be cleared
F4 F9
There's just two sides calling names
F4 F9
Out of anger out of fear
C
If you say it wasn't racial
C
When they shot him in his tracks
F4 F9
Well I guess that means that you ain't black
F4 F9
It means that you ain't black
C
I mean Barack Obama won
C
And you can choose where to eat
F4 F9
But you don't see too many white kids lying
F4 F9
Bleeding on the street
[Verse 2]
C
In some town in Missouri
C
But it could be anywhere
F4 F9
It could be right here on Ruth Street
F4 F9
In fact it's happened here
C
And it happened where you're sitting
C
Wherever that might be
F4 F9
And it happened last weekend
F4 F9
And it will happen again next week
C
And when they turned him over
C
They were surprised there was no gun
F4 F9
I mean he must have done something
F4 F9
Or else why would he have run
C
And they'll spin it for the anchors
C
On the television screen
F4 F9
So we can shrug and let it happen
F4 F9
Without asking what it means
[Chorus]
C
What it means?
C
What it means?
[Verse 3]
C
Then I guess there was protesting
C
And some looting in some stores
F4 F9
And someone was reminded that
F4 F9
They ain't called colored folks no more
C
I mean we try to be politically
C
Correct when we call names
F4 F9
But what's the point of post-racial
F4 F9
When old prejudice remains?
C
And that guy who killed that kid
C
Down in Florida standing ground
F4 F9
Is free to beat up on his girlfriend
F4 F9
And wave his brand new gun around
C
While some kid is dead and buried
C
And laying in the ground
C
With a pocket full of skittles
[Chorus]
C
What it means?
C
What it means?
[Verse 4]
C
Astrophysics at our fingertips
C
And we're standing at the summit
F4 F9
And some man with a joystick
F4 F9
Lands a rocket on a comet
C
We're living in an age
C
Where limitations are forgotten
F4 F9
The outer edges move and dazzle us
F4 F9
But the core is something rotten
C
And we're standing on the precipice
C
Of prejudice and fear
F4 F9
We trust science just as long
F4 F9
As it tells us what we want to hear
C
We want our truths all fair and balanced
C
As long as our notions lie within it
F4 F9
There's no sunlight in our asses
F4 F9
And our heads are stuck up in it
C
And our heroes may be rapists
C
Who watch us while we dream
F4 F9
But don't look to me for answers
F4 F9
Cuz I don't know what it means
[Chorus]
C
What it means?
C
What it means?
