They Don't Relly Care About Us

Denna låten av Michael Jackson handlar om rasism, antisemitism och hans eget liv.

Han ville med denna låten visa att han var emot rasism och antisemitism. Dessutom hur han kände sig efter allt som hänt, vad han gått igenom... 
Han sa vid ett tillfälle att han pratade om sig själv som offret.
Han blev dock stämd för att han använt antisemistiska och rasistiska ord i denna låten. Men om man bara lyssnar på hela texten kan man inte tolka den fel. Det är glasklart vad han menar. Men vissa ser inte hela helheten utan läser bara de "fula orden". Han fick ta mycket skit för denna låten som han bara menade väl med.
Det sägs att hans vän sedan många år, Stephen Spielberg, också ska ha reagerat och ansett låten antisemistisk. Vilket jag har svårt att förstå, eftersom han själv är en artist och borde kunna se helheten i en annan artists konstverk.
Men döm själva.



"They Don't Care About Us"

Skin head, dead head
Everybody gone bad
Situation, aggravation
Everybody allegation
In the suite, on the news
Everybody dog food
Bang bang, shot 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
Jew me, sue me
Everybody do me
Kick me, kike me
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 male
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 really do 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 is that
They don't really care about us

Hej Jyoti!

Vad kul att du gillade inlägget =)

Du har rätt i det du säger, men en 17åring kan ibland vara mer mogen än en 27åring. Vissa utveklas väldigt tidigt och andra väldigt sent =)

Men visst man ska ju känna sig mogen & ge all sin kärlek åt barnet =)



kramar Mia
