about

The first single of the album, a song that always resonated with the band’s image, of an artist who always tried to break barriers. In particular this Michael Jackson’s tune has a great identification with the Brazilian people, because besides having its music video recorded in Brazil, the lyrics also talk exactly how the minorities gets explored, like nobody cares about the others and the emergent necessity of change. The band made a metal version but keeping the structure and the groove of the song, which has a drum loop playing throughout, trying to put its identity in a worldly acclaimed tune.

lyrics

Michael, eles não ligam pra gente!

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 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
Sue me, Sue me
Everybody do me
Kick me, kick 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 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 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 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 want to see
But if Roosevelt was livin'
He wouldn't let this be, oh, 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 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, oh, no

Skin head, dead head
Everybody gone bad
Situation, segregation
Everybody allegation
In the suite, on the news
Everybody dog food
Kick me, kick me
Don't you wrong or right me

All I want to say is that
They don't really care about us
(They keep me on fire)
All I want to say is that
They don't really care about us
(I’m there to remind you)
All I want to say is that
They don't really care about us
(And I’m here to remind you)

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
