Lyrics
Skin head, dead head
– Ikhanda lesikhumba, ikhanda elifile
Everybody gone bad
– Wonke umuntu wahamba kabi
Situation, aggravation
– Isimo, ukucasuka
Everybody allegation
– Zonke izinsolo
In the suite, on the news
– E-suite, ezindabeni
Everybody dog food
– Wonke umuntu ukudla kwezinja
Bang bang, shot dead
– Bang bang, udutshulwe wabulawa
Everybody’s gone mad
– Wonke umuntu uyahlanya
All I wanna say is that
– Engifuna ukukusho nje ukuthi
They don’t really care about us
– Abanandaba ngempela nathi
All I wanna say is that
– Engifuna ukukusho nje ukuthi
They don’t really care about us
– Abanandaba ngempela nathi
Beat me, hate me
– Ngishaye, ngizonde
You can never break me
– Awusoze wangiphula
Will me, thrill me
– Ngizongithokozisa
You can never kill me
– Awusoze wangibulala
Jew me, sue me
– Ngingumjuda, ngimangalele
Everybody do me
– Wonke umuntu uyangenza
Kick me, kike me
– Ngikhahlele, ngikhahlele
Don’t you black or white me
– Ungangiboni ngimnyama noma ngimhlophe
All I wanna say is that
– Engifuna ukukusho nje ukuthi
They don’t really care about us
– Abanandaba ngempela nathi
All I wanna say is that
– Engifuna ukukusho nje ukuthi
They don’t really care about us
– Abanandaba ngempela nathi
Tell me what has become of my life
– Ngitshele ukuthi kwenzekeni ekuphileni kwami
I have a wife and two children who love me
– Nginomfazi nezingane ezimbili ezingithandayo
I am the victim of police brutality, no
– Ngiyisisulu sobudlova bamaphoyisa, cha
I’m tired of being the victim of hate
– Ngikhathele ukuba yisisulu senzondo
You’re raping me of my pride oh, for God’s sake
– Ungidlwengula ngenxa yokuziqhenya kwami oh, Ngenxa Kankulunkulu
I look to heaven to fulfill it’s prophecy
– Ngibheke ezulwini ukuze ngigcwalise isiprofetho
Set me free
– Ngikhulule
Skin head, dead head
– Ikhanda lesikhumba, ikhanda elifile
Everybody gone bad
– Wonke umuntu wahamba kabi
Trepidation, speculation
– Ukwesaba, ukuqagela
Everybody allegation
– Zonke izinsolo
In the suite, on the news
– E-suite, ezindabeni
Everybody dog food
– Wonke umuntu ukudla kwezinja
Black man, blackmail
– Umuntu omnyama, ukukhwabanisa
Throw the brother in jail
– Phonsa umzalwane ejele
All I wanna say is that
– Engifuna ukukusho nje ukuthi
They don’t really care about us
– Abanandaba ngempela nathi
All I wanna say is that
– Engifuna ukukusho nje ukuthi
They don’t really care about us
– Abanandaba ngempela nathi
Tell me what has become of my rights
– Ngitshele ukuthi kwenzekeni ngamalungelo ami
Am I invisible because you ignore me?
– Ingabe angibonakali ngoba awunginaki?
Your proclamation promised me free liberty, no
– Isimemezelo sakho sangithembisa inkululeko yamahhala, cha
I’m tired of being the victim of shame
– Ngikhathele ukuba yisisulu sehlazo
They’re throwing me in a class with a bad name
– Bangiphonsa ekilasini elinegama elibi
I can’t believe this is the land from which I came
– Angikholwa ukuthi leli yizwe engavela kulo
You know I really do hate to say it
– Uyazi ukuthi ngiyakuzonda ngempela ukukusho
The government don’t wanna see
– Uhulumeni akafuni ukubona
But if Roosevelt was livin’
– Kodwa uma Uroosevelt ayephila
He wouldn’t let this be, no, no
– Wayengeke akuvumele lokhu kube, cha, cha
Skin head, dead head
– Ikhanda lesikhumba, ikhanda elifile
Everybody gone bad
– Wonke umuntu wahamba kabi
Situation, speculation
– Isimo, ukuqagela
Everybody litigation
– Wonke umuntu uphikisana
Beat me, bash me
– Ngishaye, ngishaye
You can never trash me
– Awusoze wangichitha
Hit me, kick me
– Ngishaye, ngikhahlele
You can never get me
– Awusoze wangithola
All I wanna say is that
– Engifuna ukukusho nje ukuthi
They don’t really care about us
– Abanandaba ngempela nathi
All I wanna say is that
– Engifuna ukukusho nje ukuthi
They don’t really care about us
– Abanandaba ngempela nathi
Some things in life they just don’t wanna see
– Ezinye izinto ekuphileni abafuni nje ukuzibona
But if Martin Luther was living
– Kodwa uma Umartin luther ayephila
He wouldn’t let this be, no, no
– Wayengeke akuvumele lokhu kube, cha, cha
Skin head, dead head
– Ikhanda lesikhumba, ikhanda elifile
Everybody’s gone bad
– Wonke umuntu usehambile kabi
Situation, segregation
– Isimo, ukuhlukaniswa
Everybody allegation
– Zonke izinsolo
In the suite, on the news
– E-suite, ezindabeni
Everybody dog food
– Wonke umuntu ukudla kwezinja
Kick me, kike me
– Ngikhahlele, ngikhahlele
Don’t you wrong or right me
