They Don't Care About Us

Skin head, dead head
 Everybody gone bad
 Situation, aggravation
 Everybody allegation
 In the suite, 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
 Sue me, Sue me
 Everybody do me
 Kick me, kick 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 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 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 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 want to see
 But if Roosevelt was livin'
 He wouldn't let this be, no, no
 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
 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
 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 give a fuck about us!
