They don’t care about us
Michael Jackson
Munich 1997

All I wanna say is that
They don’t really care about us,
(Don’t worry what people say, we got it true).

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.

(Michael Jackson):

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.

Now 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, no.
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.

Now tell me what has become of my rights.
Am I invisible because you ignore me?
Your proclamation promised me free liberty, no.
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 want to 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.

(Guitar solo)

Some things in life they just don’t want to see.
But if Martin Luther was livin’,
He wouldn’t let this be no, no, aay.

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.

(Clapping):

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,
All I wanna say is that
They don’t really care about,
All I wanna say is that
They don’t really care about us.
Hee hee, hoo.
