They Don't Care About Us Lyrics

Send "They Don't Care About Us" Ringtone to your Cell

Written and composed by Michael Jackson



Skin head, dead head
Everybody gone bad
Situation, aggravation
Everybody allegation
In the suite, on the news
Everybody dog food
Bang bang, shock 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
Do me, Sue me
Everybody do me
Kick me, strike 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, strike 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

mannn i love this song! first it's reallly really catch and it can get stuck in your head in a heartbeat (warning). lol. also on the symbolic side, it has a great meaning and really shows how people don't really care how the world is living unless it is happening to them. GREAT WORK MICHAEL!

I LOVE this song. But I do have to make a small correction. In the "original" version of this song, in the second verse, it goes: "Jew me, sue me, everybody do me, Kick me, Kike me, don't you black or white me..." He changed it later because people were stupid and said it would offend too many people. (Even though the song is about being offended and persecuted against. Some people just don't get it. :P) Anyways, love this song and Michael. I just wish he was as lively as he used to be, but I guess he's doing good for being almost 50. LOL.

Wow, he's right on with this song. If a person is slightly out of 'normal' for society, they are hated and discriminated against instantly.

Right on MJ! Keep up the great music!

Sorry Sorry Sorry Sorry....... The janet jackson thing was from the song scream.....(Check my last message)...... Sorry for the mix up......
Scorpias89 05/11/2003 05:33:16
This song is One of my absolute favs of MJ.... My others include Black or white, Beat it, Billie Jean, Smooth Criminal, Thriller, D.S., Scream, Bad, And so many others that i can't name them all.....
I was wondering.... On Janets First Verse of the song doesn't she say "the bigger the Sound" It sound's more like that... I've been singing it like that also for the past 2 years... Ha ha....Well I'll check on some more CD's and Check...

MJ ROOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOX
