Michael Jackson
They Don’t Care About Us (SWG Extended Mix)
[Intro]
(Overlapping voices)
I’m tired of being the victim of hate
You’re ripping me of my pride, oh, for God’s sake
I look to heaven to fulfill its prophecy, set me free
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
(Overlapping voices)
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 1]
Skin head, dead head
Everybody gone bad
Situation, aggravation
Everybody, allegation
In the suit, on the news
Everybody, dog food
Bang bang, shot dead
Everybody’s gone mad
[Hook]
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
Jew me, sue me
Everybody do me
Kick me, kike me
Don’t you black or white me

[Hook]
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 1]
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 being the victim of hate
You’re ripping me of my pride, oh, for God’s sake
I look to heaven to fulfill its prophecy, set me free
[Verse 3]
Skin head, dead head
Everybody’s gone bad
Trepidation, speculation
Everybody, allegation
In the suit, on the news
Everybody, dog food
Black male, blackmail
Throw the brother in jail

[Hook]
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 2]
Tell me, what has become of my rights?
Am I invisible 'cause you ignore me?
Your proclamation promised me free liberty, now
I’m tired of being 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 really do hate to say it
The government don’t wanna see
But if Roosevelt was livin'
He wouldn’t let this be, no, no
[Verse 4]
Skin head, dead head
Everybody’s gone bad
Situation, speculation
Everybody, litigation
Beat me, bash me
You can never trash me
Hit me, kick me
You can never get me

[Hook]
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

Dead head, gone bad
Speculation, litigation
Bash me, trash me
Kick me, get me

Dead head, (Hate me) gone bad (Break me)
Segregation, (Kick me) allegation (Get me)
On the news, (Thrill me) dog food (Kill me)
Kike me, (Sue me) wrong or right me (Do me)

[Verse 5]
Some things in life
They just don’t wanna see
But if Martin Luther was livin’
He wouldn’t let this be, no, no

Skin head, dead head
Everybody’s gone bad
Situation, segregation
Everybody, allegation
In the suit, on the news
Everybody, dog food
Kick me, kike me
Don’t you wrong or right me
