Jam

I forgot one more thing. When talks about false prophets he is speaking of the many false prophets you constantly speak of our worlds doom. In the Bible it teaches us that there will be many false prophets preaching false things that are not of God's word. They don't know anymore than the lay man. Also, in the Bible are examples of God's dislike of religious contradiction when he talks about worshipping false prophets and gods. He also talks about the Jews not marrying Gentiles, and this is why.

I think the song is about how society has become so screwed up that people only care for themselves.......but im not really sure, esspecially with lines like, "False prophets cry of doom" and "She pray to Gpd, to Buddha Then she sings a Talmud song".....wutever the hell that means, mayb something deep, i dunno

I used to love the whole Dangerous album when I was a little kid. This song is some boss shiznit.

Wasn't the video for this MJ playing BBall with Michael Jordan?

yeh it is... Michael jordan teaches him 2 play BBall and MJ teaches Michael Jordan 2 dance

This is a commentary on the general state of the world. He is saying that in order to solve the problems plaguing our world we must stop being so selfish and come together as one. When he speaks of the system and conditioning I believe he is talking about all of the violence,sexual content, etc. that we as a society have become so conditioned to shrug off. Television, music, and general media has a hold of the people and they accept violence and explicit content as a way of life. We have become so numb to these things that we so easily will allow all of these things to happen by simply saying, "Its not my problem" or "everybody is doing it". Television tells us what to wear, what to eat, and how to speak. Music tells us that women should be called out of their name. Video games are telling our children that it's okay to steal cars, beat up, and pillage. These are the things that now fuel the human condition, and being conditioned we have become so individualist that we don't care about the plight of our fellow man. People don't even care about their families anymore. He later goes on to talk about people constantly being confused about religion and what to believe. He is saying that so much religious contradiction within ourselves leaves us not know what to believe. That means even rudimentary beliefs of what is right and wrong. He further goes on to say that this is a task he is willing to take on because quote "It ain't too much for me". This is not about being mind controlled by Joe Jackson. If he wanted to address him, he would not disguise it here.

Religious confusion?

This song was also a base for the Carnival Night Zone music in Sonic 3. There's a video about it and some other MJ/Sonic 3 songs as well here. It's pretty interesting stuff: youtube.com/watch

Amaya-chan u r correct infact MJ was suppose to compose some of the music for the game

To me in this song Michaels saying its not to much for him...all the public scrutiny and media pressure he was always under. And the lyrics

She pray to Gad, to Buddha Then she sings a Talmud song

always reminded me of madonna for some reason. I think he was just commenting on how so many religious fads were happening and people weren't really grounded at all in one

This song is actually about the way society programs us with our schools, media, parents, peers... to act in a certain way (a way which we have control over). This problem is actually unsubstantial because it can be healed. Michael Jackson is admitting to being programed by society from a young age possibly through the maladaptive relationship with his father joe jackson. The song speaks out against negative attitudes and cynics in regard to world issues (such as the lack of care for one's neighbors). "predictions fly of doom" could be in reference to the currently prevailing negative trend of society. Which is bullshit. 2012 is not about the end of the world its about a new beginning. The line "it ain't too much stuff" is perhaps in reference to what some may call materialism that is running ramp id... the old fallacy that "things are more important than people." which is bullshit. BUT on the other hand what may appear to the "baby boomers" as a lost, misguided, generation may actually be a generation of visionaries. A generation of visionaries who APPEAR to be simply misguided, mentally ill, and neurotic ("it ain't too much stuff") when perhaps they are trying to change the world for the better by keeping an open, hungry mind...balanced with compassion. The word "Jam" is in reference to music. In the 1960s when music wasn't plagued with the ego, lack of teamwork, care, and humility... People used to get together and say "Lets Jam." From that point on a friendship would begin to seed. A deep friendship a long with the beginning of some really kick ass music and fun times. And that's where the power is. Music.
