Analysis of Michael Jackson's Lyrics

Then he wrote,

"They don't care about us."

They don't care about us. They, who?

Who?

See, he's sending his people messages-

That's right

... out of his pain.

Right.

They don't care.

Skin head, dead head.

Everybody gone mad. 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. 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.

That's what Michael was talking about.

They made him go back in the studio-

Yeah

... and change those words.

And Michael was labeled

anti-Semitic.

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 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 and 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, blackmail. Throw your brother in jail.

All I wanna say is that

they don't really care

about us.
