[Intro: Children]
All I wanna say is that they don't really care about us
(Don't worry what people say, we know the truth)
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

[Verse 1: Michael Jackson]
Skinhead, 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

[Refrain: Michael Jackson]
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: Michael Jackson]
Beat me, hate me, you can never break me
Will me, thrill me, you can never kill me
...sue me, everybody do me
Kick me..., don't you black or white me

[Refrain: Michael Jackson]
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: Michael Jackson]
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 being the victim of hate
You're raping me of my pride, oh, for God's sake
I look to heaven to fulfill its prophecy, set me free

[Verse 3: Michael Jackson]
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

[Refrain: Michael Jackson]
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: Michael Jackson]
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 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 living
He wouldn't let this be, no, no
[Verse 4: Michael Jackson]
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

[Refrain: Michael Jackson]
All I wanna say is that they don't really care about us (Ah-choo-ah)
All I wanna say is that they don't really care about us (Ah)

[Verse 5: Ill, Al Skratch, Both]
Yeah, one, two, Big Ill, what the deal?
I'm a'ight, Al Skratch, now tell me what you feel
Yeah, life is like a merry-go-round, ups and downs
Plus, they don't really care about us
Ayo, I'm livin' my life off the wall like Mike
Still tryna do the right thing like Spike
A'ight, together we stand (Divided we fall)
All I wanna say, is it really justice for all?

[Bridge: Michael Jackson]
Some things in life
They just don't wanna see
But if Martin Luther was living
He wouldn't let this be, no, no
[Verse 6: Michael Jackson]
Skinhead, dead head, everybody's gone bad
Situation, segregation, everybody, allegation
In the suit, on the news, everybody, dog food
Kick me..., don't you wrong or right me
(We're deep in the fire)

[Refrain: Michael Jackson]
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 remind you)
All I wanna say is that they don't really care about us
(Don't you sit back and watch, baby)

[Outro: Michael Jackson]
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
