They Don't Care About Us　4'44"
Lyrics/Melody: Michael Jackson

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

Skin head, dead head, everybody gone bad
Situation, aggravation, everybody allegation
In the suite, on the news, everybody dog food
Bang bang, shock 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'm a 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 the 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 'cause you ignore me?
Your proclamation promised me free liberty, now
I'm tired of bein' the victim of shame
They're throwin' 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, no no

Skin head, dead head, everybody's gone bad
Situation, segregation, everybody allegation
In the suite, on the news, everybody dog food
Kick me, kike 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
All I wanna say is that, they don't really care about
All I wanna say is that, they don't really care about us



＜本人中譯＞

他們才不管我們死活

我想說的就是　他們才不管我們死活
我想說的就是　他們才不管我們死活
我想說的就是　他們才不管我們死活

偽君子　行屍走肉　每個人都在變壞
這狀況　在惡化　每個人心知肚明
在法庭　跟新聞裡　每個人那樣低賤
砰砰響(*1)　嚇死了吧　每個人都發瘋了　
我想說的就是　他們才不管我們死活
我想說的就是　他們才不管我們死活

揍我　恨我　你仍不會擊敗我
駕馭我　恐嚇我　你仍無法殺了我
整我　告我　每個人都跟我作對
踹我　抨擊我　不准你毀謗我
我想說的就是　他們才不管我們死活
我想說的就是　他們才不管我們死活

告訴我　我的人生變成什麼樣
我有愛我的老婆和兩個孩子
我現在卻是警察暴虐蠻橫下的犧牲者
我已經厭惡成為憎恨的受害者
你在剝奪我的自尊　天殺的
我在尋找可以實現預言的天堂　放我自由

偽君子　行屍走肉　每個人都在變壞
惶恐不安　投機猜忌　每個人心知肚明
在法庭　跟新聞裡　每個人那樣低賤
黑道　跟黑函　都可以把兄弟送進監獄
我想說的就是　他們才不管我們死活
我想說的就是　他們才不管我們死活

告訴我　我的人權變成什麼樣
光憑你忽視我　我就該被忽略嗎？
你們的宣言(*2)保障我自由的權利
我已經厭惡成為恥辱的受害者
他們把我冠上擺脫不掉的污名
我不敢相信這就是我的家鄉
你曉得我實在不想這麼說　政府也不願面對
要是羅斯福總統還活著　他一定不會讓這種事發生

偽君子　行屍走肉　每個人都在變壞
這情況　投機猜忌　每個人都該被起訴
揍我　痛宰我　我仍不會變成廢物
打我　踹我　我仍不會屈服於你
我想說的就是　他們才不管我們死活
我想說的就是　他們才不管我們死活

人生中有些事　他們只是不想面對
要是馬丁路德還活著　他一定不會讓這種事發生

偽君子　行屍走肉　每個人都在變壞
這情況　族群隔離　每個人心知肚明　
在法庭　跟新聞裡　每個人那樣低賤
踹我　抨擊我　不准你抹黑我
我想說的就是　他們才不管我們死活
我想說的就是　他們才不管我們死活
我想說的就是　他們才不管我們死活
我想說的就是　他們才不管
我想說的就是　他們才不管
我想說的就是　他們才不管我們死活

Yeah, they don't really care about us.

在上面的人總是這樣。







上面的那個ＭＶ，在某些國家是禁播版，歐美則是晚上九點後才可播放。

也是啦，有些畫面實在很慘忍，暴力味很重。（可是我覺得這樣跟這首歌才搭啊……）

其實最原始的版本是下面這一個，在巴西的薩爾瓦多（Salvador）和當地知名的鼓擊樂團 Olodum 合作拍攝的版本（Olodum 樂團的音樂也是提倡反種族歧視）。不過，即使ＭＪ出馬必聲勢浩大（拍個ＭＶ，就把大街小巷變成嘉年華會一樣……一萬兩千個民眾，一百五十名防暴警察），這影片的呈現方式和歌曲意境畢竟有落差（個人認為），當地人對ＭＪ呈現的方式並不滿意（亦或他本人？），因此拍攝完畢一週後，就拍了監獄版的ＭＶ。（結果被禁播，真ＸＤ啊）



ＭＪ好敬業，被女歌迷撲倒在地仍馬上爬起來繼續甩頭搖擺！！！重點是還沒剪掉ＸＤ！！！！讓我聯想到周董那次在演唱會表演時連續跌倒兩次仍是站起來繼續 High 的畫面……，敬業！！
