They Don't Care About Us Liedtext

Skin head, dead head
Everybody gone bad
Situation, aggravation
Everybody allegation
In the suite, on the news
Everybody dog food
Bang bang, shock dead
Everybody's gone mad
 
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
 
Beat me, hate me
You can never break me
Will me, thrill me
You can never kill me
Do me1, Sue me
Everybody do me
Kick me, strike me1
Don't you black or white me
 
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
 
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 rapin' me of my pride
Oh, for God's sake
I look to heaven to fulfill its prophecy...
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, black mail
Throw your brother in jail
 
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
 
Tell me what has become of my rights
Am I invisible because you ignore me?
Your proclamation promised me free liberty, now
I'm tired of bein' the victim of shame
They'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 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
 
Skin head, 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
 
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
 
Some things in life they just don't wanna see
But if Martin Luther was livin'
He wouldn't let this be
 
Skin head, dead head
Everybody gone bad
Situation, segregation
Everybody allegation
In the suite, on the news
Everybody dog food
Kick me, strike me
Don't you wrong or right me
 
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
 
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
 
All I wanna say is that
They don't really care about us
All I wanna say ïs that
They don't really care about us

That's backwards. Put the original lyrics FIRST, then comment that a censored version exists.

Debatable. If the lyrics were officially changed, the censored version becomes the new official version.
Note that this wasn't just the run-of-the-mill censoring you see for rap lyrics, the initial version was officially deemed offensive and not fit for further distribution.

Alternatively, the uncensored version could be added with its own full entry.

True but with rap lyrics they publish both the uncensored and the censored version. Here the offensive initial version was officially retracted. Big difference.

Also, you are free to add the original version if you like. Nobody's stopping you, nobody's gonna delete it.
