words and music by nglbrkr


intro:   young man walking through the park    Gm
just trying to get home before dark    Dm
voice  calls out put up your hands    A#
or I’ll shoot my weapon make me feel like a man   D

Gm Dm Cm                   v.
because you’re black
because you’re poor
gotta do what I say
now get down on the floor

Cm    Gm                    br.
cos I’m brave and I’m trained
 A#  D        
and I aint gonna miss when I aim

Gm Dm Cm
cos you’re black and I’m white      (one line ch.)

don’t talk back                               v.
don’t try to explain
keep your hands in the air
don’t try to escape
Cm    Gm  
cos I’m  cool and I’m cruel                       br.
 A#  D        
and I don’t want you making me look like a fool


cos you’re black and I’m white          ch.
I can do what I like
cos you're black and I’m white
got the law on my side

gonna shoot you now                            br.
 5 or 6 times just to make sure

cos you’re black and I’m white                 ch.
don’t  put up a fight
cos you’re black and I’m white
you don’t have any rights

gonna shoot some more                        br.
read your rights as you die on the floor

cos you’re black and I’m white               ch.
I can do what I like
cos you’re black and I’m white                       
its my god-given right


repeat to end

This song was inspired by a comment by Eric Schmidt of Google, who said we don't need to type in the search box, because they already know what we want. So its a song about tracking.
Featuring the wonderful voice of Kaho.

This is the original version, without the girls' chorus. Just me and the guitar.
I was living in Tunisia, not far from the presidential palace, during the first "Jasmine Revolution" in 1987, which was actually a coup d'etat. I received an early morning call from the embassy advising me to stay at home. Then I was cautioned by a soldier for trying to take photos of the tanks outside the palace. The next day everything was back to normal, only the president was different. He lasted right up until the Arab Spring which inspired this song.

Improved mix.
This song is about the emotions of the self-aware artificial intelligence, inspired by the writing of Asimov. Positronic is a word he invented to describe the advanced brain of the robots in his I, Robot books. With the awesome voice of  Kaho. Words and music by nglbrkr.
