They Don’t Care About Us
[Verse 1]
Skinhead, dead head, everybody gone mad
Situation, aggravation, everybody, allegation
In the suit, on the news, everybody, dog food
Bang, bang, shot dead, everybody's gone mad
[Chorus]
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
[Verse 2]
Beat me, hate me, you can never break me
Will me, thrill me, you can never kill me
*** me, sue me, everybody do me
Kick me, **** me, don't you black or white me
[Chorus]
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
[Post-Chorus]
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
[Verse 3]
Skinhead, dead head, everybody gone bad
Trepidation, speculation, everybody, allegation
In the suit, on the news, everybody, dog food
Black man, blackmail, throw the brother in jail
[Chorus]
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
[Post-Chorus]
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
They're throwing me in a class with a bad name
I can't believe this is the land from which I came
[Bridge]
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, no
[Verse 4]
Skinhead, 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
[Chorus]
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
[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, no (no, no)
[Verse 5]
Skin head, dead head, everybody gone bad
Situation, segregation, everybody allegation
In the suite, on the news, everybody dog food
Kick me, **** me, don't you wrong or right me
[Chorus]
All I wanna say is that
They don't really care about us
(We're deep in the fire)
All I wanna say is that
They don't really care about us
(I'm here to be mad, we're deep in the fire)
All I wanna say is that
They don't really care about
All I wanna say is that
They don't really care about
[Outro]
All I wanna say is that
They don't really care about us
Skinhead, dead head, everybody gone mad
Situation, aggravation, everybody, allegation
In the suit, on the news, everybody, dog food
Bang, bang, shot dead, everybody's gone mad
[Chorus]
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
[Verse 2]
Beat me, hate me, you can never break me
Will me, thrill me, you can never kill me
*** me, sue me, everybody do me
Kick me, **** me, don't you black or white me
[Chorus]
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
[Post-Chorus]
Tell me what has become of my life
