Mick Blankenship - They Don't Care About Us (Michael Jackson cover)

Mick Blankenship - They Don't Care About Us 

 
United we stand, divided we fall
United we stand, divided we fall

Let's go!

Skinhead, deadhead
Everybody's gone bad
Situation aggravation
Everybody, allegation
In the suite, 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, kick 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 rights?
I have a wife and two children who love me
I am a victim of police brutality, now 
I'm tired of being a victim of hate
Your raping me of my pride and for God's sake
I look to heaven to fulfill its prophecy now
Set me free!

Skinhead, deadhead
Everybody's, gone bad
Trepidation speculation
Everybody, allegation
In the suite on the news
Everybody, dog food
Black man, black mail
Throw your 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?
A proclamation promised me free liberty, now
I'm tired of being a 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 oh

You know I really do hate to say it
The government don't wanna see
But it Roosevelt was living
He wouldn't let this be, no, no

Skinhead, deadhead
Everybody's, 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
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

Skinhead, deadhead 
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

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

United we stand, divided we fall
United we stand, divided we fall
