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

Skinhead, dead head, everybody gone bad
Situation, aggravation, everybody, allegation
In the suit, on the news, everybody, dog food
Bang-bang, shot dead, everybody's gone mad

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

Beat me, hate me, you can never break me
Will me, thrill me, you can never kill me
Jew me, sue me, everybody do me
Kick me, kike me, don't you black or white me

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 life?
I have a wife and two children who love me
I am the victim of police brutality, now
I'm tired of being the victim of hate
You're ripping me of my pride, oh, for God's sake
I look to Heaven to fulfill this prophecy, set me free

Skinhead, dead head, everybody gone bad
Trepidation, speculation, everybody, allegation
In the suit, on the news, everybody, dog food
Black man, blackmail, throw the brother in jail

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, now
I'm tired of being 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 really do hate to say it
The government don't want to see
But if Roosevelt was livin'
He wouldn't let this be, no, no

Skinhead, 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 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

Some things in life, they just don't want to see
But if Martin Luther was livin'
He wouldn't let this be, no, no

Skinhead, dead head, everybody gone bad
Situation, segregation, everybody, allegation
In the suit, on the news, everybody, dog food
Kick me, kike me, don't you wrong or right me (we're deep in fire)

All I want to say is that they don't really care about us
(We're deep in fire)
All I want to say is that they don't really care about us
(I'm here to remind you)
All I want to say is that they don't really care about us
(Don't you sit back and watch the beatin')
All I want to say is that they don't really care about-
All I want to say is that they don't really care about-
All I want to say is that they don't really care about us

    I've always felt that this song was about the he was being treated, but not just him. Despite his fame, he was always thought of as a freak and was always a target for scams and other forms of bad treatment. But he is not alone. All minorities are treated this way, including Jews. But it isn't just the majority that is treating us all this way.

    We have been called deplorables, and other insults for the past four years, and treated really badly. They think of us as the bad guy.

    And they do their best to push out of their society.

    Our America government is passing bills that give aid to people except whites. As one example.

    No, he was not being anti Semitic. That's just stupid. Hew as saying that we are all deplorables and treated badly.
