Allegation
In the suite
On the news
Everybody
Dog food
Bang bang
Shock dead
Everybody's
Gone mad

Chorus:
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
Do me
Sue me
Everybody
Do me
Kick me
Strike me
Don't you
Black or white me

Chorus

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 his 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

Chorus

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 that 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

Chorus

Some things in life they just don't wanna see
But if Martin Luther was livin'
He wouldn't let this be

Allegation
In the suite

Everybody
Dog food
Kick me

Don't you
Wrong or right me

Chorus
(Repeat to end)

Hold me
Like the river Jordan
And I will then say to thee
You are my friend

Carry me
Like you are my brother
Love me like a mother
Will you be there?

When weary
Tell me will you hold me
When wrong, will you mold me
When lost will you find me?

But they told me
A man should be faithful
And walk when not able
And fight til the end
But I'm only human

Everyone's taking control of me
Seems that the world's
Got a role for me
I'm so confused
Will you show to me
You'll be there for me
And care enough to bear me

(Hold me)
(Lay your head lowly)
(Softly then boldly)

(Hold me)
(Love me and feed me)
(Kiss me and free me)
(I will feel blessed)

(Carry)
(Carry me boldly)
(Lift me up slowly)
(Carry me there)

(Save me)
(Heal me and bathe me)
(Softly you say to me)
(I will be there)

(Lift me)
(Lift me up slowly)
(Carry me boldly)
(Show me you care)

(Hold me)
(Lay your head lowly)
(Softly then boldly)
(Carry me there)

(Need me)
(Love me and feed me)
(Kiss me and free me)
(I will feel blessed)

In our darkest hour
In my deepest despair
Will you still care?
Will you be there?
In my trials
And my tribulations
Through our doubts
And frustrations
In my violence
In my turbulence
Through my fear
And my confessions
In my anguish and my pain
Through my joy and my sorrow
In the promise of tomorrow
I'll never let you part
For you're always in my heart

Nation to nation
All the world
Must get together
Face the problems
That we see
Then maybe somehow we can
Work it out
I asked my neighbor
For a favor
She said later
What has come of
All the people
Have we lost love
Of what it's about

I have to find my peace cuz
No one seems to let me be
False prophets cry of doom
What are the possibilities
I told my brother
There'll be problems,
Times and tears for fears,
But we must live each day
Like it's the last

Chorus:
Go with it
Go with it
Jam
It ain't too much stuff
It ain't too much
It ain't too much for me
Jam
It ain't too much stuff
It ain't
Don't you
It ain't too much for me

The world keeps changing
Rearranging minds
And thoughts
Predictions fly of doom
The baby boom
Has come of age
We'll work it out
I told my brother
Don't you ask me
For no favors
I'm conditioned
By the system
Don't you preach to me
Don't scream and shout

She pray to God, to Buddah
Then she sings a
Talmud song
Confusions contradict
The self
Do we know right
From wrong
I just want you to
Recognize me
I'm the temple
You can't hurt me
I found peace
Within myself

Chorus
Chorus

Jam jam
Here comes the man
Hot damn
This big boy stands
Movin' up a hand
Makin' funky tracks
With my man
Michael Jackson
Smooth Criminal
That's the man
Mike's so relaxed
Mingle mingle jingle
In the jungle
Bum rushed the door
3 and 4's in a bundle
Execute the plan
First I cooled like a fan
Got with Janet
Then with Guy
Now with Michael
Cause it ain't too hard to...

I'm gonna make a change, for once in my life
It's gonna feel real good, gonna make a difference
Gonna make it right...

As I, turn up the collar on my favorite winter coat
This wind is blowin' my mind
I see the kids in the street, with not enough to eat
Who am I, to be blind?
Pretending not to see thier needs
A summer's disregard, a broken bottle top
And a one man's soul
They follow each other on the wind ya' know
'Cause they got no where to go
That's why I want you to know

Chorus:
I'm starting with the man in the mirror
I'm asking him to change his ways
And no message could have been any clearer
If you wanna make the world a better place
(If you wanna make the world a better place)
Take a look at yourself, and then make a change
(Take a look at yourself, and then make a change)

(Na na na, na na na, na na, na nah)

I've been a victim of a selfish kind of love
It's time that I realize
That there are some with no home, not a nickle to loan
Could it really be me, pretending that they're not alone?

A willow deeply scarred, somebody's broken heart
And a washed-out dream
(Washed out dream)
They follow the pattern of the wind, ya' see
'Cause they got no place to be
That's why I'm starting with me (br> (Starting with me)

Chorus
(Repeat - ad lib)

Make that change.

She got your number
She know your game
She put you under
It's so insane

Since she seduced you
How does it feel
To know that woman
Is out to kill

Every night stance is like takin' a chance
It's not about love and romance
And now you're gonna get it

Every hot man is out takin' a chance
It's not about love and romance
And now you do regret it

To escape the world
I've got to enjoy that simple dance
And it seemed that everything
Was on my side
(Blood on my side)

It seemed to me like it was love
And true romance
And now she's out to get me
And I just can't take it
Just can't break it

Chorus:
Susie got your number
And Susie ain't your friend
Look who took you under
With seven inches in
Blood is on the dance floor
Blood is on the knife
Susie got your number
And Susie says it's right

She got your number
How does it feel
To know the stranger
Is out to kill

She got your baby
It happened fast
If you could only
Erase the past

Every night stance is like takin' a chance
It's not about love and romance
And now you do regret it

To escape the world
I've got to enjoy this simple dance
And it seemed that everything was on my side
(Blood on my side)

It seemed to me like it was love
And true romance
And now she's out to get me
And I just can't take it
Just can't break it

Chorus
Chorus

It was blood on the dance floor
(Blood on the dance floor)
It was blood on the dance floor
(Blood on the dance floor)
It was blood on the dance floor
(Blood on the dance floor)
It was blood on the dance floor
(Blood on the dance floor)
And I just can't take it
The girl won't break it
Oooo...
