"They Don't Care About Us"

All I want to say is that they don't really care about us

Don't worry what people say, we know the truth

All I want to say is that they don't really care about us

Enough is enough of this garbage

All I want to say is that they don't really care about us

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

All I want to say is that they don't really care about us

All I want to 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

Jew me, sue me, everybody do me

Kick me, kike me, don't you black or white me

All I want to say is that they don't really care about us

All I want to 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 being the victim of hate

You're ripping me of my pride, oh, for God's sake

I look to heaven to fulfill this prophecy, set me free

Skin head, 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

All I want to say is that they don't really care about us

All I want to say is that they don't really care about us

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 want to 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 want to say is that they don't really care about us

All I want to say is that they don't really care about us

Some things in life, they just don't want to 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

All I want to say is that they don't really care about us (we're deep in fire)

All I want to say is that they don't really care about us (I'm here to remind you)

All I want to say is that they don't really care about us (that you said that "it sucks to be them")

All I want to say is that they don't really care about

All I want to say is that they don't really care about

All I want to say is that they don't really care about us
