Verse
A
He was running down the street
A
When they shot him in his tracks
D4 D9
About the only thing agreed upon
D4 D9
Is he ain't coming back
A
There won't be any trial
A
So the air it won't be cleared
D4 D9
There's just two sides calling names
D4 D9
Out of anger out of fear
A
If you say it wasn't racial
A
When they shot him in his tracks
D4 D9
Well I guess that means that you ain't black
D4 D9
It means that you ain't black
A
I mean Barack Obama won
A
And you can choose where to eat
D4 D9
But you don't see too many white kids lying
D4 D9
Bleeding on the street
[Verse 2]
A
In some town in Missouri
A
But it could be anywhere
D4 D9
It could be right here on Ruth Street
D4 D9
In fact it's happened here
A
And it happened where you're sitting
A
Wherever that might be
D4 D9
And it happened last weekend
D4 D9
And it will happen again next week
A
And when they turned him over
A
They were surprised there was no gun
D4 D9
I mean he must have done something
D4 D9
Or else why would he have run
A
And they'll spin it for the anchors
A
On the television screen
D4 D9
So we can shrug and let it happen
D4 D9
Without asking what it means
[Chorus]
A
What it means?
A
What it means?
[Verse 3]
A
Then I guess there was protesting
A
And some looting in some stores
D4 D9
And someone was reminded that
D4 D9
They ain't called colored folks no more
A
I mean we try to be politically
A
Correct when we call names
D4 D9
But what's the point of post-racial
D4 D9
When old prejudice remains?
A
And that guy who killed that kid
A
Down in Florida standing ground
D4 D9
Is free to beat up on his girlfriend
D4 D9
And wave his brand new gun around
A
While some kid is dead and buried
A
And laying in the ground
A
With a pocket full of skittles
[Chorus]
A
What it means?
A
What it means?
[Verse 4]
A
Astrophysics at our fingertips
A
And we're standing at the summit
D4 D9
And some man with a joystick
D4 D9
Lands a rocket on a comet
A
We're living in an age
A
Where limitations are forgotten
D4 D9
The outer edges move and dazzle us
D4 D9
But the core is something rotten
A
And we're standing on the precipice
A
Of prejudice and fear
D4 D9
We trust science just as long
D4 D9
As it tells us what we want to hear
A
We want our truths all fair and balanced
A
As long as our notions lie within it
D4 D9
There's no sunlight in our asses
D4 D9
And our heads are stuck up in it
A
And our heroes may be rapists
A
Who watch us while we dream
D4 D9
But don't look to me for answers
D4 D9
Cuz I don't know what it means
[Chorus]
A
What it means?
A
What it means?
