They Don't Care About Us

They don't care about us



skinhead, deadhead, everybody gone bad



situation, aggravation, everybody allegation



in the suite, on the news, everybody dog food



bang bang, shock dead, everybodys gone bad.





chorus:



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



chew me, sue me, everybody do me



kick me, hike me, don't you black or white me





chorus





tell me what has become of my life



i have a wife and two children who love me



i am the victiom of police brutality, now.



i'm tired of being the victim of hate,



you're rapin' me of my pride



of for god's sake



i look to heaven to fulfill its prophecy....



set me free





skinhead, deadhead, everybody gone bad



trepidation, speculation, everybody allegation



in the suite, on the news, everybody dog food



black man, black mail, throw the brother in jail





chorus





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



the government don't wanna say



but if roosevelt was livin',



he would't let this be, no no.





skinhead, deadhead, everybodys gone bad



situation, speculation, everybody litigation



beat me, bash me, you can never trash me



hit me, kick me, you can never get me





chorus





some things in live they just don't wanna see



but if martin luther was livin'



he wouldn't let this be





skinhead, deadhead, everybody's gone bad



situation, segregation, everybody allegation



in the suite, on the news, everybody dog food



kick me, hike me, don't you wrong or right me





chorus
