IN THE WAKE OF THE PROTESTS AROUND THE COUNTRY: I am reminded of Michael Jacksons song, They dont care about us. The song is about his views against racism, racial profiling, and police brutality. He also was compelled to write it because The Santa Barbara Police department had raided his Neverland Ranch and destroyed it. After the police destroyed it, Michael never lived there again because he felt it was now tainted. Here are the lyrics and the powerful original video to the song....... Skin head, dead head Everybody gone bad Situation, aggravation Everybody allegation In the suite, on the news Everybody dog food Bang bang, shot dead Everybodys gone mad All I want to say is that They dont really care about us All I want to say is that They dont really care about us Beat me, hate me You can never break me Will me, thrill me You can never kill me Do me, Sue me Everybody do me Kick me, strike me Dont you black or white me All I want to say is that They dont really care about us All I want to say is that They dont really care about us 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 Im tired of bein the victim of hate Youre rapin me of my pride Oh, for Gods sake I look to heaven to fulfill its prophecy Set me free Skin head, dead head Everybody 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 want to say is that They dont really care about us All I want to say is that They dont really care about us Tell me what has become of my rights Am I invisible because you ignore me? Your proclamation promised me free liberty, now Im tired of bein the victim of shame Theyre throwing me in a class with a bad name I cant believe this is the land from which I came You know I do really hate to say it The government dont want to see But if Roosevelt was livin He wouldnt 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 want to say is that They dont really care about us All I want to say is that They dont really care about us Some things in life they just dont want to see But if Martin Luther was livin He wouldnt let this be Skin head, dead head Everybody gone bad Situation, segregation Everybody allegation In the suite, on the news Everybody dog food Kick me, strike me Dont you wrong or right me All I want to say is that They dont really care about us All I want to say is that They dont really care about us All I want to say is that They dont really care about us All I want to say is that They dont really care about us All I want to say is that They dont really care about us All I want to say is that They dont really care about us https://youtube/watch?v=97nAvTVeR6o
