Lyrics:
[Intro] 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] [Chorus] Skin head, dead head, everybody gone mad 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 1] 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 [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] 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 [Chorus] Skin head, dead head, everybody gone mad 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 [Verse 3] 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 [Pre-Chorus] You know, I really do hate to say it The government don't wanna see But if Roosevelt was livin' He wouldn't let this be, no, no [Chorus] 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 [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] Some things in life They just don't wanna see But if Martin Luther was livin' He wouldn't let this be, no, no [Chorus] Skin head, dead head, everybody gone mad Situation, segregation, everybody, allegation In the suit, on the news, everybody, dog food Kick me, kike me, don't you wrong or right me (We're deep in the fire) [Refrain] All I wanna say is that they don't really care about us (We're deep in the fire) All I wanna say is that they don't really care about us (I'm here to remind you) All I wanna say is that they don't really care about us (Don't you sit back and watch the beatin') [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 (Hee-hee, woohoo!)
