They Don’t Care About Us

[Verse 1]
Skinhead, 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

[Refrain]
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

[Verse 2]
Beat me, hate me, you can never break me
Will me, thrill me, you can never kill me
Jew me, sue me, evеrybody do me
Kick me, kick me, don't you black or whitе me

[Refrain]
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

[Bridge]
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, no, no
I'm tired of being the victim of hate
You're raping me of my pride, oh, for God's sake
I look to heaven to fulfill its prophecy, set me free

[Verse 3]
Skinhead, 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

[Refrain]
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

[Bridge]
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 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 hate to say it
The government don't wanna see
But if Roosevelt was living
He wouldn't let this be, no, no

[Verse 4]
Skinhead, 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

[Refrain]
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

[Instrumental Break]

[Bridge]
Some things in life
They just don't wanna see
But if Martin Luther was living
He wouldn't let this be, no, no

[Verse 5]
Skinhead, dead head, everybody gone bad
Situation, segregation, everybody, allegation
In the suit, on the news, everybody, dog food
Kick me, kick me, don't you wrong or right me

[Refrain]
All I wanna say is that they don't really care about us
(You see me in the fire)
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
(Don't you know what I'm feeling?)

[Outro]
All I wanna say is that they don't really care about—
All I wanna say is that they don't really care about—
All I wanna say is that they don't really care about us
