Hello Everyone,
Welcome to another exciting week at Mindlovemisery’s Menagerie, this is Sanaa Rizvi, your kind hostess this week with a music video that’s bound to get you brainstorming.
Have you ever felt that as time is moving forward – hatred, violence and intolerance is increasing; its easier to hate and it is difficult to love. This is how the whole scheme of things work. All good things are difficult to achieve; while all bad things are easy to get.
We see it almost everyday on the news. Innocent people are killed regardless of whom they are. If only we could put aside our differences of creed and color and see the good things about each other, then the world would be such a beautiful place to live in.
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 wanna say is that
They don’t really care about usAll 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 usTell 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 off my pride
Oh, for God’s sake
I look to heaven to fulfill its prophecy
Set me freeSkin head, dead head
Everybody gone bad
Trepidation, speculation
Everybody allegation
In the suite, on the news
Everybody dog food
Black male, black mail
Throw your brother in jailAll I wanna say is that
They don’t really care about us
All I wanna say is that
They don’t really care about usTell 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 really do hate to say it
The government don’t wanna see
But if Roosevelt was livin’
He wouldn’t let this be, no, noSkin 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 meAll I wanna say is that
They don’t really care about us
All I wanna say is that
They don’t really care about usSome things in life
they just don’t wanna see
But if Martin Luther was livin’
He wouldn’t let this be, no, noSkin head, dead head
Everybody gone bad

“So very topical given what’s been happening. Shows how little really changes,” she sighed. “It keeps feeling like the Civil Rights Movement all over again.”

A little different. I used music in my response. A song in my head so much of late.
