El vídeo musical de 'They Don’t Care About Us' de Michael Jackson ha roto la marca de 1.000 millones

Es un tema, impactante, que nos traía al músico en 1996 a terrenos reivindicativos a modo de canción protesta. Se estrenaba en 1996 y supuso un cierto terremoto en EE. UU.

'They Don’t Care About Us'

El tema de Michael Jackson estuvo acompañado de dos vídeos musicales dirigidos por el cineasta y actor también estadounidense Spike Lee. El primero, el que ha superado la marca de los 1000 millones, se rodó en dos lugares de Brasil, en Pelourinho, el centro histórico de la ciudad de Salvador y en Santa Marta, una favela de Río de Janeiro. Las autoridades estatales trataron de prohibir la producción por temor a que el vídeo dañara su imagen, el área y las perspectivas de Río de Janeiro como sede de los Juegos Olímpicos de 2004.

Aún así, los residentes del área estaban felices de ver al cantante, con la esperanza de que sus problemas se hicieran visibles a una audiencia más amplia.

El segundo video fue filmado en una prisión y contenía secuencias de vídeo de múltiples referencias a abusos contra los derechos humanos.

Letra BY Musixmatch

All I want to say is that they don't really care about us

Don't worry what people say, we know the truth

All I want to say is that they don't really care about us

Enough is enough of this garbage

All I want to 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 (Mhhm)

I'm tired of bein' the victim of hate

Your 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 it Roosevelt was livin', he wouldn't let this be, no, no

Skinhead, deadhead

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 (Ah)

But if Martin Luther was livin'

He wouldn't let this be, no, no

Skinhead, deadhead (Yeah, yeah)

Everybody's gone bad

Situation, segregation (Woo-hoo)

Everybody, allegation

In the suite on the news

Everybody dog food (Woo-ho)

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 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
