They Don’t Care About Us — Michael Jackson
They Don’t Care About Us — Четвертый сингл с альбома Джексона HIStory.
Это одна из самых противоречивых песен Майкла всех времен, она обвинялась в антисемитизме. Песня — призыв призыв к сильным людям прекратить игнорировать права человека. Однако, некоторые критики интерпретировали эти тексты, выразив абсолютное противоположное значение намерений Джексона.
Интересный факт: к этой песне было два музыкальных клипа. Один из них был снят в Бразилии, а другой — в тюрьме.
