THEY DON'T 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. Trepidation, speculation, everybody allegation. Black male, black mail, throw your brother in jail. Skin head, dead head, everybody gone bad. Situation, speculation, everybody litigation. Situation, segregation, everybody allegation, in the suit, on the news, everybody dog food.
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. Beat me, bash me, you can never trash me. Hit me, kick me, you can never get me. Kick me, strike me, don't you wrong or right me.
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. Tell me what has become of my rights, am I invisible for 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. Some things in life they just don't wanna see. But if Martin Luther was livin', he wouldn't let this be, no, no.
All I wanna say is that they don't really care about us.
