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.

Текст песни They Don’t Care About Us

(All I want to say is that they don’t really care about us)
Don’t worry what people say, we know the truth
(All I want to say is that they don’t really care about us)
Enough is enough of this garbage
(All I want to say is that they don’t really care about us)
(Overlapping voices)

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 bein’ the victim of hate
You’re rippin’ me of my pride, oh, for God’s sake
I look to heaven to fulfill its prophecy, set me free

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 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 do really hate to say it
The government don’t wanna see
But if Roosevelt was livin’
He wouldn’t let this be, no, no

But if Martin Luther was livin’

Everybody dog food
Kick me, strike me
Don’t you wrong or right me
