Intro

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

Don't worry what people say, we know the truth

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

Enough is enough of this garbage!

(Okay, alright, alright, alright)

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

Verse 1

Skinhead, dead head

Everybody gone bad

Situation, aggravation

Everybody, allegation

In the suit, on the news

Everybody, dog food

Bang, bang, shot dead

Everybody's gone mad

Chorus

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

Verse 2

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

Chorus

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

Post-Chorus

And tell me, what has become of my life?

I have a wife and two children who love me

I am a victim of police brutality now (Hee)

I'm tired of bein' a victim of hate

You're rapin' me of my pride, oh, for God's sake

I don't like havin' to fulfill this prophecy

Set me free

Verse 3

Skinhead, dead head

Everybody gone bad

Trepidation, speculation

Everybody, allegation

In the suit, on the news

Everybody, dog food

Black man, blackmail

Throw the brother in jail

Chorus

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

Post-Chorus

And tell me, what has become of my rights?

Am I invisible 'cause you ignore me?

Your proclamation promised me free liberty now (Hee)

I'm tired of bein' a victim of shame

You're throwin' me in a class with a bad name

I can't believe this is the land from which I came

Bridge

You know, I really do hate to say it

The government don't wanna see

But if Roosevelt was livin'

He wouldn't let this be, no, no

Verse 4

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

Chorus

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

Guitar Solo
Bridge

Some things in life, they just don't wanna see

But if Martin Luther was livin'

He wouldn't let this be

No, no, no, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah

Verse 5

Skinhead, dead head

Everybody's gone bad

Situation, segregation (Hoo-hoo)

Everybody, allegation

In the suit, on the news (Hoo-hoo)

Everybody, dog food

Kick me, kike me (We're deep in the fire)

Don't you wrong-or-right me

Chorus

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

We're deep in the fire (Hoo-hoo)

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

I'm there to remind you (Hoo-hoo)

All I wanna say is that they don't really care about us (Hee)

Don't you sit back and watch the beatin'

All I wanna say is that they don't really care about (Hoo-hoo)

All I wanna say is that they don't really care about (Hoo-hoo)

All I wanna say is that they don't really care about us (Hee-hee-hee)

Hee-hee, hoo-hoo
