Song lyrics: “they don’t care about us”.

The song which michael Jackson wrote to express his opinion against the injustice that he suffered from the record company that owned him, and the government that gained financial profit from the fame of his name.

Verse 1: 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.

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
Do me, sue me Everybody do me Kick me, strike 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 bein’ the victim of hate
You’re rapin’ me of my pride
Oh, for god’s sake
I look to heaven to fulfill it’s 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.

Bridge 2: 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
