Michael Jackson – They Don't Care About Us

• 0
  My Interpretation:I think this song is about a common man, who has lost his everything. and asking the government why they don't give a damn about him (common man). and the recalling of president shows how people were living well of then. Well, that's what i think it is.

  General Comment:This song really pisses me off, radio stations wouldnt play it, jews screamed that it was anti semitic, I cant believe he would change it because of the media. He should have fought harder against the media since they were tearing him apart even after the apologies. never change your artistic expression whether people are offended are not. Some of the best pieces of art are very controversial. very good song

    Right on....isn't that called "free speech?"
    He is telling it like it is in his experience....noone has to agree or like it.
    This song is about Michael feeling trampled on by his business handlers, the police, and the media and the government and the political leaders not giving a rat's ass not just about Michael but, all of us. He's warning us that if we find ourself in a place like he found himself, don't think there will be anyone to take up your cause in the govt. or political leaders, such as the NAACP.
    I think he knew alot more....
    The cause of his death is suspicious.

  My Interpretation:This is an extremely powerful song. But the song has to be listened to with quite a hefty volume on, otherwise it just fizzles. The lyrics AND the dancing, hey, the whole outlook of Michael Jackson on the video of this song is really a great experience. But what does he want to say? I think he, like many of us people, are dead tired of hearing of violence and killings and hate actions everyday. But, more than anything, Michael wants the judging of other people's way of life and choosing of how they live, have to stop. And I agree. 100%.

  General Comment:This song is super true. And I don't see why they had to bleep out jew me and kike me. He's just saying, don't diss me just cuz I'm a jew, or any race at that. And how they always throw he black guy in jail, it could be the white guy. The main point of this song is not to be racist.

  General Comment:"ALL I WANNA SAY IS THAT THEY DON'T REALLY CARE ABOUT US." Then with the ad-libbing at the end "We're deep in fire. I'm here to remind you." How clear could the man get? The government doesn't give a shit about any of us. Look at the good Michael Jackson tried doing and with everything good he did, he was torn down, called a pedophile, said he was a Wacko, etc, etc. Has anyone read the book "The End of America" by Naomi Wolf or seen the documentary of the same name? I don't care if you like Michael Jackson or not. Wake the fuck up, people. He's trying to warn us.

    I don't see how it could be more obvious. In the video he sings "Will me, Thrill me, You will never kill me" in front of an all seeing friggin eye!

  General Comment:I also love how honest it is. He wrote, just like he writes most of his music, and he didn't hesitate to the state the way he was feeling.

  General Comment:I think the part when he says, "situation, speculation, everybody allegation," he is referring to the FALSE accusations made against him in early '93. I love this song so, so much! It's definately one of my favorites.
