Michael Jackson's "They Don't Care About Us"




 

 

Skin head, dead head

Everybody gone bad

Situation, aggravation

Everybody allegation

In the suite, on the news

Everybody dog food

Bang bang, shot dead

Everybody's gone mad

 

All I wanna say is that

They don't really care about us

All I wanna say is that

They don't really care about us

 

Beat me, hate me

You can never break me

Will me, thrill me

You can never kill me

Jew me, Sue me

Everybody do me

Kick me, kike me

Don't you black or white me

 

All I wanna say is that

They don't really care about us

All I wanna say is that

They don't really care about us

 

Tell me what has become of my life

I have a wife and two

children who love me

I am the victim of

police brutality, now

I'm tired of bein' the victim of hate

You're rapin' me of my pride

Oh, for God's sake

I look to heaven to

fulfill its prophecy...

Set me free

 

Skin head, dead head

Everybody gone bad

trepidation, speculation

Everybody allegation

In the suite, on the news

Everybody dog food

black man, black mail

Throw your brother in jail

 

All I wanna say is that

They don't really care about us

All I wanna say is that

They don't really care about us

 

Tell me what has become of my rights

Am I invisible because you ignore me?

Your proclamation promised

me free liberty, now

I'm tired of bein' the victim of shame

They're throwing me in a

class with a bad name

I can't believe this is the

land from which I came

You know I do really hate to say it

The government don't wanna see

But if Roosevelt was livin'

He wouldn't let this be, no, no

 

Skin head, dead head

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

 

All I wanna say is that

They don't really care about us

All I wanna say is that

They don't really care about us

 

Some things in life they

just don't wanna see

But if Martin Luther was livin'

He wouldn't let this be

 

Skin head, dead head

Everybody gone bad

Situation, segregation

Everybody allegation

In the suite, on the news

Everybody dog food

Kick me, kike me

Don't you wrong or right me

 

All I wanna say is that

They don't really care about us

All I wanna say is that

They don't really care about us

 

All I wanna say is that

They don't really care about us

All I wanna say is that

They don't really care about us

 

All I wanna say is that

They don't really care about us

All I wanna say is that

They don't really care about us

This made me the about a mural that I passed in Gary, Indiana summer of 2019. It was a heartwarming thing to see in a heartbreaking place. Looks like it's not there anymore.
