Skinhead, deadhead, everybody gone bad
Situation, aggravation, everybody, allegation
In the suite, on the news, everybody, dog food
Bang-bang, shock 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 woman and children who love me
I am a victim of police brutality now
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 fulfill its prophecy
Set me free
Skinhead, deadhead, 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 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 now
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
You know I really hate to say it

The government don't wanna see
But if Roosevelt was living
He wouldn't let this be, no no
Skinhead, deadhead, 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
Skinhead, deadhead, everybody gone bad
Situation, segregation, everybody, allegation

In the suite, on the news, everybody, dog food
Kick me, strike 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 (they're calling me 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
