Michael Jackson
“They Don’t Care About Us” Lyrics
4 Single released from the Album HIStory, 1995

They Don’t Care About Us video:

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 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 is that
They don’t really care about us

Earth Song Lyrics by Michael Jackson

Artist : Michael Jackson
Songwriters: Larson, Melvin E.; Marcellino, Jerry A.
Song : Earth Song

(note from Momma Muse…. beautiful song)

What about sunrise
What about rain
What about all the things
That you said we were to gain…
What about killing fields
Is there a time
What about all the things
That you said was yours and mine…
Did you ever stop to notice
All the blood we’ve shed before
Did you ever stop to notice
The crying Earth the weeping shores?

Aaaaaaaaah Aaaaaaaaah
Aaaaaaaaah Aaaaaaaaah

What have we done to the world
Look what we’ve done
What about all the peace
That you pledge your only son…
What about flowering fields
Is there a time
What about all the dreams
That you said was yours and mine…
Did you ever stop to notice
All the children dead from war
Did you ever stop to notice
The crying Earth the weeping shores

Aaaaaaaaah Aaaaaaaaah
Aaaaaaaaah Aaaaaaaaah

I used to dream
I used to glance beyond the stars
Now I don’t know where we are
Although I know we’ve drifted far

Aaaaaaaaah Aaaaaaaaah
Aaaaaaaaah Aaaaaaaaah
Aaaaaaaaah Aaaaaaaaah
Aaaaaaaaah Aaaaaaaaah

Hey, what about yesterday
(What about us)
What about the seas
(What about us)
The heavens are falling down
(What about us)
I can’t even breathe
(What about us)
What about the bleeding Earth
(What about us)
Can’t we feel its wounds
(What about us)
What about nature’s worth
(ooo, ooo)
It’s our planet’s womb
(What about us)
What about animals
(What about it)
We’ve turned kingdoms to dust
(What about us)
What about elephants
(What about us)
Have we lost their trust
(What about us)
What about crying whales
(What about us)
We’re ravaging the seas
(What about us)
What about forest trails
(ooo, ooo)
Burnt despite our pleas
(What about us)
What about the holy land
(What about it)
Torn apart by creed
(What about us)
What about the common man
(What about us)
Can’t we set him free
(What about us)
What about children dying
(What about us)
Can’t you hear them cry
(What about us)
Where did we go wrong
(ooo, ooo)
Someone tell me why
(What about us)
What about babies
(What about it)
What about the days
(What about us)
What about all their joy
(What about us)
What about the man
(What about us)
What about the crying man
(What about us)
What about Abraham
(What was us)
What about death again
(ooo, ooo)
Do we give a damn

Aaaaaaaaah Aaaaaaaaah

Michael Jackson’s Billy Jean (lyrics)

by Judi ~ June 27, 2009 (6 days ago)

Billy Jean Lyrics

She was more like a beauty queen from a movie screen
I said, don’t mind, but what do you mean I am the one
Who will dance on the floor in the round

She told me her name was Billy Jean as she caused a scene
And every head turned with eyes that dreamed of being the one
Who would dance on the floor in the round

People always told me
Be careful what you do
Don’t go around breaking young girls’ hearts
And mama always told me
Be careful who you love
Be careful what you do
Because a lie becomes the truth

Billy Jean is not my lover
She’s just a girl who
says that I am the one
But the kid is not my son
She says that I am the one
But the kid is not my son

For forty days and for forty nights
The law was on her side
But who could stand when she’s in demand
With her schemes and plans
‘Cause we danced on the floor in the round
So take my strong advice
Just remember to always think twice
[Billy Jean lyrics on http://www.elyricsworld.com]

(Do think twice)

She told my baby we danced ’til three
Then she looked at me
And showed a photo of my baby crying
His eyes were like mine
So we danced on the floor in the round

People always told me
Be careful what you do
Don’t go around breaking young girls’ hearts
But she came and stood right by me
I could smell her sweet perfume
I guess it happened way too soon
She called me to her room

Billy Jean is not my lover
She’s just a girl who
Claims that I am the one
But the kid is not my son
Billy Jean is not my lover
She’s just a girl who
Says that I am the one
But the kid is not my son

She says I am the one
But the kid is not my son

Billy Jean is not my lover (repeat 15 times)

Billy Jean, based on a true situation, was on the Thriller album, but almost didn’t make it because the producer didn’t like it. The video was one of the first played on MTV by a black artist.

877-648-0958 – Creepers

by Judi ~ June 26, 2009 (1 week ago)

Got this 8-hundred number while I was eating some lunch.  Showed up at 1(877) 648-0958.

My cell number is private – in that when I have business stuff (banks, credit cards, etc) I give a different number… so I knew caller wasn’t necessarily “important”.  Just phone spam.

I answered and got a recorded speil about how they are calling about my credit card, not to worry, nothing serious, just that they might be able to lower my interest rates, etc.  To please press 1 for more information.

So I pressed one.  The man who answered didn’t give me a name and I didn’t think to ask for one.  I just thought I’d politely ask to have my cell number removed from their accounts.. which I said.  He told me No.  Just plain and simple.

Stuttering I told him, no this is a private number and it needs to be removed or I’d report their company.. he asked to whom?  Which stumped me because I don’t know.. so I just restated he needed to take my number off their accounts.. he replied that I needed to take my underwear off..

Yep, read that right.  The perv telemarketer told me to take my underwear off.

Now, I could totally get upset, call them back (half expect the number won’t take incoming calls) and try to raise a stink, but likely there are a handful of “telemarketers” all scamming people out of credit card info.. and when they get a call like mine, they are all probably laughing their butts off at the guy telling me I need to take my underwear off.

What scuzzy creepers.  Ick.s

Michael Jackson Dies at age 50

by Judi ~ June 25, 2009 (2 weeks ago)

My daughter just sent us a text, Michael Jackson died…apparent heart attack and was rushed to the hospital.

NOTE: maybe he’s not dead, maybe just in a coma! No, really, he has passed away….
Michael Jackson, Dies at 50

And yes, it’s all over the news.. but I can’t access any articles on it.  Talk about news.

I wasn’t a huge fan of his, not sure why I feel a loss, or sort of sad.  Maybe just because he was such an icon when I was growing up, a teen in the 80’s.

Thriller made the most memerable impression.  It came out when my sister was just a few years old.  She loved to watch the video (you know, when MTV was new and actually played music  videos all the time).  But she’d leave the room until the little “movie” at the beginning was over.  When it was done, I’d call for her to come back in and we’d watch and sing… never did dance with it though.. we just couldn’t compete with that dancing, lol.

He appeared to be in bad shape, mentally, physically and financially.  Ah, well.. sad news.
