They Don't Care About Us

Tell me what has become of my life I have a wife and two children who love me I'm the victim of police brutality, no [string stabs] I'm tired of being the victim of hate You're ripping me of my pride for God's sake I look to heaven to fulfill its prophecy Set me free All I want to say is that they don't really care about us All I want to say is that they don't really care about us All I want to say is that they don't really care about us All I want to 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, no I'm tired of being the victim of shame You'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 want to see But if Roosevelt was living He wouldn't let this be, no, no All I want to say is that they don't really care about us All I want to say is that they don't really care about us All I want to say is that they don't really care about us All I want to say is that they don't really care about us
