Lyrics
[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
[Verse 2]
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]
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
[Verse 4]
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]
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
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 this prophecy
Set me free
[Verse 6]
Skin head, 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
[Verse 7]
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 8]
Tell me what has become of my rights
Am I invisible 'cause you ignore me?
Your proclamation promised me free liberty, no
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
[Verse 9]
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
[Verse 10]
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
[Verse 11]
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 12]
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 13]
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
[Verse 14]
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')
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
