They Don't Care About Us

(album: Annie Are You Okay? - 2016)

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

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

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

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

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

Tell me what has become of my life?
I have a wife and two children who love me
I'm a victim of police brutality, no (Brutality, 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 fulfil its prophecy
Set me free

Skin head, dead head, everybody gone bad
Trepidation, speculation, everybody allegation
In the suit, on the news, everybody dog food
Black man, black mail, throw the brother in jail

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

Tell me what has become of my rights
Am I invisible 'cause you ignore me?
Your proclamation promised me free liberty, no (Liberty, no)
I'm tired of being the victim of shame
You'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 do hate to say it
The government don't wanna see
But if Roosevelt was living
He wouldn't let this be, no, no

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

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

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

Skin head, dead head, everybody's gone bad
Situation, segregation, everybody allegation
In the suit, on the news, everybody dog food
Kick me, kike me, don't you wrong or right me

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
