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