[Intro]
All I wanna say is that
They don't really care about us
Don't worry what people say, we know the truth
All I wanna say is that
They don't really care about us
Enough is enough of this garbage
[Verse 1]
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 gone mad
[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
[Verse 2]
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
[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
[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 being the victim of hate
You're ripping 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 suite, on the news
Everybody dog food
Black male, blackmail
Throw your brother in jail
[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
[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 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 do 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]
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
[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
[Verse 5]
Some things in life
They just don't wanna see
But if Martin Luther was living
He wouldn't let this be, no, no, no
Skin head, dead head
Everybody's gone bad
Situation, segregation
Everybody allegation
In the suite, on the news
Everybody dog food
Kick me, kick me
Don't you wrong or right me
[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
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
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
All I wanna say is that
They don't really care about us
Don't worry what people say, we know the truth
All I wanna say is that
They don't really care about us
Enough is enough of this garbage
[Verse 1]

Everybody gone bad
Situation, aggravation

All I wanna say is that
They don't really care about us
