[Intro (chanting)]
(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)
(Overlapping voices)
[Verse 1]
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 gone mad
[Hook]
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
Everybody do me
Kick me, kike me
Don’t you black or white me
[Hook]
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 1]
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 rippin’ me of my pride, oh, for God’s sake
I look to heaven to fulfill its prophecy, set me free
[Verse 3]
Skin head, dead head
Everybody gone bad
Trepidation, speculation
Everybody allegation
In the suit, on the news
Everybody dog food
Black male, blackmail
Throw your brother in jail
[Hook]
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 2]
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 bein’ the victim of shame
They’re throwin’ 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
[Verse 4]
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
[Hook]
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 5]
Some things in life
They just don’t wanna see
But if Martin Luther was livin’
He wouldn’t let this be
Skin head, dead head
Everybody’s gone bad
Situation, segregation
Everybody allegation
In the suit, on the news
Everybody dog food
Kick me, strike me
Don’t you wrong or right me
[Hook]
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
