Verse
B
He was running down the street
B
When they shot him in his tracks
E4 E9
About the only thing agreed upon
E4 E9
Is he ain't coming back
B
There won't be any trial
B
So the air it won't be cleared
E4 E9
There's just two sides calling names
E4 E9
Out of anger out of fear
B
If you say it wasn't racial
B
When they shot him in his tracks
E4 E9
Well I guess that means that you ain't black
E4 E9
It means that you ain't black
B
I mean Barack Obama won
B
And you can choose where to eat
E4 E9
But you don't see too many white kids lying
E4 E9
Bleeding on the street
[Verse 2]
B
In some town in Missouri
B
But it could be anywhere
E4 E9
It could be right here on Ruth Street
E4 E9
In fact it's happened here
B
And it happened where you're sitting
B
Wherever that might be
E4 E9
And it happened last weekend
E4 E9
And it will happen again next week
B
And when they turned him over
B
They were surprised there was no gun
E4 E9
I mean he must have done something
E4 E9
Or else why would he have run
B
And they'll spin it for the anchors
B
On the television screen
E4 E9
So we can shrug and let it happen
E4 E9
Without asking what it means
[Chorus]
B
What it means?
B
What it means?
[Verse 3]
B
Then I guess there was protesting
B
And some looting in some stores
E4 E9
And someone was reminded that
E4 E9
They ain't called colored folks no more
B
I mean we try to be politically
B
Correct when we call names
E4 E9
But what's the point of post-racial
E4 E9
When old prejudice remains?
B
And that guy who killed that kid
B
Down in Florida standing ground
E4 E9
Is free to beat up on his girlfriend
E4 E9
And wave his brand new gun around
B
While some kid is dead and buried
B
And laying in the ground
B
With a pocket full of skittles
[Chorus]
B
What it means?
B
What it means?
[Verse 4]
B
Astrophysics at our fingertips
B
And we're standing at the summit
E4 E9
And some man with a joystick
E4 E9
Lands a rocket on a comet
B
We're living in an age
B
Where limitations are forgotten
E4 E9
The outer edges move and dazzle us
E4 E9
But the core is something rotten
B
And we're standing on the precipice
B
Of prejudice and fear
E4 E9
We trust science just as long
E4 E9
As it tells us what we want to hear
B
We want our truths all fair and balanced
B
As long as our notions lie within it
E4 E9
There's no sunlight in our asses
E4 E9
And our heads are stuck up in it
B
And our heroes may be rapists
B
Who watch us while we dream
E4 E9
But don't look to me for answers
E4 E9
Cuz I don't know what it means
[Chorus]
B
What it means?
B
What it means?
