Michael: Tired of injustice
Tired of the schemes
Kinda disgusted
So what does it mean
Kicking me down
I got to get up
As jacked as it sounds
The whole system sucks

Janet: Peek in the shadow
Come into the light
You tell me I'm wrong
Then you better prove you're right
You're sellin' out souls
But I care about mine
I've got to get stronger
And I won't give up the fight

Michael: With such confusion don't it make you wanna scream
Your bash abusing victimize within the scheme
Janet: You try to cope with every lie they scrutinize
Somebody please have mercy cause I just can't take it

Stop pressurin' me
Just stop pressurin' me
Stop pressurin' me
Make me wanna scream
Stop pressurin' me
Just stop pressurin' me
Stop pressurin' me
Make you just wanna scream

Michael: Tired of you tellin' the story your way
You're causin' confusion
You think it's okay, dammit

Janet: You're changin' the rules
While you're playin' the game
I can't take it much longer
I think I might go insane

With such confusion don't it make you wanna scream
Your bash abusing vicitimize within the scheme
You find your pleasure scandalizin' every lie
Oh Father, please have mercy cause I just can't take it

Stop pressurin' me
Just stop pressurin' me
Stop pressurin' me
Make me wanna scream
Stop pressurin' me
Just stop pressurin' me
Stop fuckin' with me
Make me wanna scream

Janet: Oh my God, can't believe what I saw
As I turned on the TV this evening
I was disgusted by all the injustice
All the injustice
(Michael): All the injustice

Voice clip: "A man has been brutally beaten to death by police after being wrongly identified as a robbery suspect. The man was an 18 year old black man.."

With such confusions don't it make you wanna scream
Your bash abusin' victimize within the scheme
You try to cope with every lie they scrutinize
Oh brother please have mercy cause I just can't take it

Stop pressurin' me
Just stop pressurin' me
Stop pressurin' me
Make me wanna scream
Stop pressurin' me
Just stop pressurin' me
Stop pressurin' me

They Don't 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, shot 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
Jew me, sue me
Everybody do me
Kick me ,kike 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 this 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, blackmail
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 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

Chorus

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

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

Chorus
(Repeat to end)

Stranger In Moscow

I was wandering in the rain
Mask of life, feelin' insane
Swift and sudden fall from grace
Sunny days seem far away
Kremlin's shadow belittling me
Stalin's tomb won't let me be
On and on and on it came
Wish the rain would just let me be

Chorus:
How does it feel
(How does it feel)
How does it feel
How does it feel
When you're alone
And you're cold inside

Here abandoned in my fame
Armageddon of the brain
KGB was doggin' me
Take my name and just let me be
Then a beggar boy called my name
Happy days will drown the pain
On and on and on it came
In the rain and again, and again...

Chorus

Like a stranger in Moscow
But I must say...
Like a stranger in Moscow
But I must say...
We're talkin' danger
We're talkin' danger baby
Like a stranger in Moscow
We're talkin' danger
We're talkin' danger baby
Like a stranger in Moscow
I'm livin' lonely
I'm livin' lonely baby
A stranger in Moscow

This Time Around

This time around I'll never get bit
Though you really wanna fix me
This time around you're making me sick
Though you really wanna get me
Somebody's out
Somebody's out to get me
They really wanna fix me, hit me
But this time around I'm takin' no shit
Though you really wanna get me
You really wanna get me

Chorus:
He really thought he really had a hold of me
He really thought
They thought they really had control of me
He really thought he really had a hold of me
He really thought
He really thought he really had
They thought they really could control me

This time around I'll never get bit
Though you really wanna get me
This time around I'm taking no shit
Though you really wanna fix me
Somebody's out
Somebody's out to use me
They really want to use me
And then falsely accuse me
This time around
They'll take it like spit
'Cause you really can't control me
You know you can't control me

Chorus

Rap:
Lisen, I've got problems of my own
Flashin' cameras, taps on my phone
Even in my home I ain't safe as I should be
Things always missin'
Maybe it could be my friends
They ain't friends it they're robbin' me
Stoppin' me from makin' a profit, see
Apology shallow like the ocean
I guess I'll resort to gun totin'
If I was dead broke and smokin'
I'd probably be by my lonesome
I'm a killer nigga I ain't jokin'
Endo smoke got me choked and I'm hopin'
The fool comes slippin'
So I could blow 'em open
This time around
I changed up my flow
Got rid of the rocks
Got pitts by the door
I've raised other peoples to watch my back
Stay away from strangers so I won't slack
And I know my nigga Mike like that
Baby

Chorus

Earth Song

What about sunrise
What about rain
What about all the things
That you said we were to gain
What about killing fields
Is there a time?
What about all the things
That you said were yours and mine
Did you ever stop to notice
All the blood we've shed before
Did you ever stop to notice
This crying Earth, this weeping shore?

Chorus:
Aaaaaaaaaah Oooooooooh
Aaaaaaaaaah Oooooooooh

What have we done to the world?
Look what we've done
What about about all the peace
That you pledge your only son...
What about flowering fields
Is there a time?
What about all the dreams
That you said was yours and mine
Did you ever stop to notice
All the children dead from war
Did you ever stop to notice
This crying earth, this weeping shore?

Chorus

I used to dream
I used to glance beyond the stars
But now I don't know where we are
Although I know we've drifted far

Chorus

Hey, what about yesterday
(What about us)
What about the seas
(What about us)
The heavens are falling down
(What about us)
I can't even breathe
(What about us)
What about the bleeding Earth
(What about us)
Can't we feel it's wounds
(What about us)
What about nature's worth
(Oooh, oooh)
It's our planet's womb
(What about us)
What about animals
(What about it)
We've turned kingdoms to dust
(What about us)
What about elephants
(What about us)
Have we lost their trust
(What about us)
What about crying whales
(What about us)
We're ravaging the seas
(What about us)
What about forest trails
(Oooh, oooh)
Burnt despite our pleas
(What about us)
What about the holy land
(What about it)
Torn apart by creed
(What about us)
What about the common man
(What about us)
Can't we set him free
(What about us)
What about children dying
(What about us)
Can't you hear them cry
(What about us)
Where did we go wrong
(Oooh, oooh)
Someone tell me why
(What about us)
What about baby boys
(What about it)
What about the days
(What about us)
What about all their joy
(What about us)
What about the man
(What about us)
What about the crying man
(What about us)
What about Abraham
(What about us)
What about death again
(Oooh, oooh)
Do we give a damn?!

Chorus

D.S.

They wanna get my ass dead or alive
You know he really tried to take me down by surprise
I bet he missioned with the CIA
He don't do half what he say

Chorus:
Tom Sneddon is a cold man
Tom Sneddon is a cold man
Tom Sneddon is a cold man
Tom Sneddon is a cold man

He out shock in every single way
He'll stop at nothing just to get his political say
He think he hard 'cause he's BSTA
I bet he never had a social life anyway
You think he brother with the KKK?
I bet his mother never taught him right anyway
He want your vote just to remain DA
He don't do half what he say

Chorus

Slash!

Does he send letters to the FBI?
Did he say to either do it or die?

Chorus
(Repeat - ad lib to end)

Money

Lie for it
Spy for it
Kill for it
Die for it

So you call it trust
But I say it's just
In the devil's game
Of greed and lust
They don't care
They'd do me for the money
They don't care
They use me for the money

So you go to church
You read the Holy Word
In the scheme of life
It's all absurd
They don't care
They'd kill for the money
Do or dare
They thrill for the money

You're saluting the flag
Your country trusts you
Now you're wearing a badge
You're called the "Just Few"
And you're fighting the wars
A soldier must do
I'll never betray or deceive you my friend but...

If you show me the cash
Then I will take it
If you tell me to cry
Then I will fake it
If you give me your hand
Then I will shake it
You would do anything for money...

Chorus:
Anything (anything...)
Anything for money
Would lie for you
Would die for you
Even sell my soul to the devil

Insurance?
Where do your loyalties lie?
Is that your alibi?
I don't think so
You don't care
You'd do her for the money
Say it's fair
You sue her for the money

Want your pot of gold
Need the Midas touch
Bet you sell your soul
'Cause your God is such
You don't care
You kill for the money
Do or dare
You thrill for the money

Are you infected with the same disease of lust
Gluttony and greed?
Then watch the ones
With the biggest smiles
The idle jabbers
Cuz they're the backstabbers

If you know it's a lie
Then you will swear it
If you give it with guilt
Then you will bear it
If it's taking a chance
Then you will dare it
You would do anything for money...

Chorus x 4

You say you wouldn't do it
For all the money in the world
I don't think so
If you show me the man
Then I will sell him
If you ask me to lie
Then I will tell him
If you're dealing with God
Then you will hell him
You would do anything for money

Chorus

Money makes the world go round... Money makes the world go round... Money makes the world go round...

Come Together

Here come ol' flat top
He come groovin' up slowly
He's got Joo Joo eyeball
He one holy roller
He got hair down to his knees
Got to be a joker he just do what he please

He wear no shoe shine
He's got toe jam football
He's got monkey finger
He shoot Coca-Cola
He say, "I know you, you know me...
One thing I can tell you is you got to be free"

Chorus:
Come together
Right now
Over me

He got bag production
He's got walrus gum-boot
He got Ono sideboard
He one spinal cracker
He's got feet down through his knees
Hold you in his arms 'til you can feel his disease

Chorus

He got roller coaster
He's got early warning
He's got muddy water
He one Mojo filter
He say, "One and one and one is three"
Got to be good looking cause he's so hard to see

Chorus

You Are Not Alone

Another day has gone
I'm still all alone
How could this be
You're not here with me?
You never said goodbye
Someone tell me why
Did you have to go
And leave my world so cold?

Everyday I sit and ask myself
How did love slip away
Something whispers in my ear and says

Chorus:
That you are not alone
For I am here with you
Though you're far away
I am here to stay

You are not alone
I am here with you
Though we're far apart
You're always in my heart
You are not alone

Just the other night
I thought I heard you cry
Asking me to come
And hold you in my arms
I can hear your prayers
Your burdens I will bear
But first I need your hand
Then forever can begin

Everyday I sit and ask myself
How did love slip away
Something whispers in my ear and says

Chorus

Whisper three words and I'll come runnin'
And girl you know that I'll be there
I'll be there

Chorus

Childhood

Have you seen my childhood?
I'm searching for the world that I come from
'Cause I've been looking around
In the lost and found of my heart
No one understands me
They view it as such strange eccentricities
'Cause I keep kidding around
Like a child, but pardon me

People say I'm not okay
'Cause I love such elementary things
It's been my fate to compensate For the childhood I've never known

Have you seen my childhood?
I'm searching for that wonder in my youth
Like pirates and adventurous dreams
Of conquest and kings on the throne

Before you judge me, try hard to love me
Look within your heart then ask
Have you seen my childhood?

People say I'm strange that way
'Cause I love such elementary things
It's been my fate to compensate For the childhood I've never known

Have you seen my childhood?
I'm searching for that wonder in my youth
Like fantastical stories to share
The dreams I would dare, watch me fly...

Before you judge me, try hard to love me
The painful youth I've had

Have you seen my childhood...

Tabloid Junkie

Speculate to break the one you hate
Circulate the lie you confiscate
Assassinate and mutilate
It's the hounding media in hysteria
Who's the next for you to resurrect?
JFK exposed the CIA
Truth be told, the grassy knoll
It's the blackmail story in all your glory

It's slander
You say it's not a sword
But with your pen you torture men
You'd crucify the Lord
And you don't have to read it
And you don't have to eat it
To buy it is to feed it
Then why do we keep foolin' ourselves

Chorus:
Just because you read it in a magazine
Or see it on a TV screen
Don't make it factual
Though everybody wants to read all about it
Just because you read it in a magazine
Or see it on a TV screen
Don't make it factual... actual

They say he's homosexual

In the hood
Frame him if you could
Shoot to kill
To blame him if you will
If he dies, sympathize
Such false witnesses
Damn self righteousness
In the black
Stab me in the back
In the face
To lie and shame the race
Heroine and Marilyn
It's the headline stories in all your glory

It's slander
With the words you use
You're a parasite in black and white
Do anything for news
If you don't go and buy it
Then they won't glorify it
To read it sanctifies it
Then why do we keep foolin' ourselves?

Chorus

She's blonde and she's bisexual

Scandal
With the words you use
You're a parasite in black and white
Do anything for news
And you don't go and buy it
Then they don't glorify it
To read it sanctifies it
Why do we keep foolin' ourselves?
Slander
You say it's not a sin
But with your pen you torture men
The why do we keep foolin' ourselves, baby?

Chorus

You're so damn disrespectable

2Bad

Told me that you're doin' wrong
Word out shockin' all alone
Cryin' wolf ain't like a man
Throwin' rocks to hide your hand

You ain't done enough for me
You ain't done enough for me
You are digustin' me, yeah yeah
You're aiming just for me
You are disgustin' me
Just want your cut from me
But too bad, too bad

Look who just walked in the place
Dead and stuffy in the face
Look who's standing if you please
Though you tried to bring me to my knees

Chorus:
Too bad too bad about it
Why don't you scream and shout it
Too bad too bad about it
Why don't you just scream and shout it
Too bad too bad about it
Why don't you scream and shout it
Too bad too bad about it
Why don't you just scream and shout it

Hell all up in Hollywood
Sayin' that you got it good
Creepin' from a dusty hole
Tales of what somebody told
