They don't care about us

They Don't Care About Us

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
