Michael Jackson - They Don't Care About Us Lyrics

 All I wanna say is that they don't really care about us (Don't worry what people say, we got the truth)
All I wanna say is that they don't really care about us (Enough is enough of this garbage)
All I wanna say is that they don't really care about us (They ain't in much better shape than us)
[Verse 1]
Skinhead, Deadhead
Everybody gone bad
Situation, aggravation
Everybody, allegation
Innocent on the news
Everybody dog food
Bang, bang, shot dead
Everybody's gone mad
[Chorus]
All I want to say is that they don't really care about us
All I want to say is that they don't really care about us
[Verse 2]
Beat me, hate me
You could never break me
Will me, thrill me
You could never kill me
**** me, sue me
Everybody do me
Kick me, **** me
Don't you black or white me
[Chorus]
All I want to say is that they don't really care about us
All I want to say is that they don't really care about us
[Refrain]
Tell me, what has become of my life?
I have a wife and two children who love me
I am a victim of police brutality, no
I'm tired of bein' the victim of hate
You're rapin' me of my pride, for God's sake
I look to Heaven to fulfill this prophecy
Set me free
[Verse 3]
Skinhead, Deadhead
Everybody gone bad
Trepidation, speculation
Everybody, allegation
Innocent on the news
Everybody dog food
Black man, blackmail
Throw the brother in jail
[Chorus]
All I want to say is that they don't really care about us
All I want to say is that they don't really care about us
[Refrain]
Tell me what has become of my rights?
Am I invisible 'cause you ignore me?
Your proclamation promised me free liberty, no
I'm tired of bein' the victim of shame
You're throwin' me in a class with a bad name
I can't believe this is the land from which I came
[Bridge]
You know I really do hate to say it
The government don't want to see
But if Roosevelt was livin'
He wouldn't let this be, no, no
[Verse 4]
Skinhead, Deadhead
Everybody gone bad
Situation, speculation
Everybody, litigation
Beat me, bash me
You can never trash me
Hit me, kick me
You can never get me
[Chorus]
All I want to say is that they don't really care about us
All I want to say is that they don't really care about us
[Bridge]
Some things in life they just don't wanna see
But if Martin Luther was livin'
He wouldn't let this be, no, no
[Verse 5]
Skinhead, Deadhead
Everybody's gone bad
Situation, segregation
Everybody, allegation
Innocent on the news
Everybody dog food
Kick me, **** me
Don't you wrong or right me
[Chorus]
All I want to say is that they don't really care about us (We're deep in the fire)
All I want to say is that they don't really care about us (I'm here to remind you)
All I want to say is that they don't really care about us (Don't you sit back and watch the beatin')
All I want to say is that they don't really care about
All I want to say is that they don't really care about
All I want to say is that they don't really care about us
