running down the street
When they shot him in his tracks

About the only thing agreed upon

D
There won't be any trial
So the air it won't be cleared
G
D
There's just two sides calling names
Gsus2
Out of anger out of fear
D

If you say it wasn't racial
When they shot him in his tracks

that you ain't black

Verse 2
D
In some town in Missouri
But it could be anywhere
Gsus2
It could be right here
D
on Ruth Street
Gsus2
D
In fact it's happened here
And it happened where
you're sitting
Wherever that might be
Gsus2
D
And it happened last weekend
Gsus2
G
And it will happen again next week
D
And when they turned him over
They were surprised there was no gun
Gsus2
D
I mean he must have done something
Gsus2
G
Or else why would he have run
D
And they'll spin it for the anchors
On the television screen
Gsus2
So we can shrug and let it happen
D

Without asking what it means

Verse 4
D
Then I guess there was protesting
And some looting in some stores
Gsus2
D
And someone was reminded that
Gsus2
They ain't called colored folks no more
D
I mean we try to be politically
Correct when we call names
But what's the point
Gsus2
of post-racial
D
Gsus2
D
When When old prejudice remains?
And that guy who killed that kid
Down in Florida standing ground
Gsus2
D
Is free to beat up on his girlfriend
Gsus2
And wave his brand new gun around
D
While some kid is dead and buried
And laying in the ground
Gsus2
With a pocket full of skittles

Astrophysics
Verse 6
at our fingertips
And we're standing at the summit
Gsus2
And some man with a joystick
Lands a rocket on a comet
D
We're living in an age
Where limitations are forgotten
Gsus2
The outer edges move and dazzle us
But the core is something rotten
D
And we're standing on the precipice
Of prejudice and fear
Gsus2
We trust science just as long
As it tells us what we want to hear
D
We want our truths all fair and balanced
As long as our notions lie within it
Gsus2
There's no sunlight in our ass'
And our heads are stuck up in it
D
And our heroes may be rapists
Who watch us while we dream
Gsus2
D
But don't look to me for answers
Gsus2
Cuz I don't know what it means
