They Don't Really Care About Us

Saliva

Lyrics
All I wanna say is that
They don't really care about us

Skinhead, dead head, everybody 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, strike 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 three children who love me
I am the victim of police brutality now (oh)
I'm tired of bein' the victim of hate
You're rippin' me off my pride, oh, for God's sake
I look to heaven to fulfill its prophecy
Set me free

Skinhead, dead head, everybody gone bad
Trepidation, speculation, everybody, allegation
In the suite, on the news, everybody dog food
Black male, 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 because you ignore me?
Your proclamation promised me free liberty now (oh)
I'm tired of bein' the victim of shame
They're throwin' me in a class with a bad name
I can't believe this is the land from which I came

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

Skinhead, 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 livin'
He wouldn't let this be, no, no

Skinhead, dead head, everybody gone bad
Situation, segregation, everybody, allegation
In the suite, on the news, everybody dog food
Kick me, stick me, don't you wrong or right me

All I wanna say is that
They don't really care about us (this world is on fire)
All I wanna say is that
They don't really care about us (you're callin' me a liar)
All I wanna say is that
They don't really care about us (this world is on fire)

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
