    THEY DON'T CARE ABOUT US
    Written and composed by Michael Jackson

    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

    [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, U can never break me
    Will me, Thrill me, U can never kill me
    Do me, Sue me, Everybody do me
    Kick me, Strike me, Don't U black or white me

    [Repeat 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 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 your brother in jail

    [Repeat Chorus]

    Tell me what has become of my rights, Am I invisible because U 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
    U know I do really 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, U can never trash me
    Hit me, Kick me, U can never get me

    [Repeat Chorus]
    {Interlude}

    Some things in life they just don't wanna see
    But if Martin Luther was livin'... He wouldn't let this be, No no!

    Skin head, Dead head, Everybody gone bad
    Situation, Segregation, Everybody allegation
    In the suite, On the news, Everybody dog food
    Kick me, Strike me, Don't U wrong or right me

    [Repeat Chorus Twice]

    Stranger in Moscow
    Written and composed by Michael Jackson

    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 belittlin' me (Stalin's tomb won't let me be)
    On and on and on it came (Wish the rain would just let me be)

    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 and again, and again, and again...
    (Take my name and just let me be)

    How does it feel?� (Repeat 5 times)
    (How does it feel now)?
    How does it feel? How does it feel?
    When you're alone and you're cold inside

    How does it feel? (Repeat 5 times)
    (How does it feel now)?
    How does it feel? How does it feel?
    When you're alone and you're cold inside

    Like a stranger in Moscow! Like a stranger in Moscow!
    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!

    KGB interrogator-Russian to English Translation:
    "Why have U come from the West?
    Confess! To steal the great achievements of the people,
    The accomplishments of the workers..."

    THIS TIME AROUND
    Written by Michael Jackson
    Composed by Dallas Austin, Bruce Sweden and Rene Moore

    This time around I'll never get bit... Though U really wanna fix me
    This time around you're making me sick... Though U 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 taking no shit... Though U really wanna get me
    U really wanna get me!

    [Chorus:]
    He really thought... He really had... Control of me
    He really thought ... They thought they really had control of me
    He really thought he really had control me
    He really thought ... They thought they really could control the man

    This time around I'll never get bit... Though U really wanna get me
    This time around I'm taking no shit... Though U 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 U really can't control me
    U know U can't control me

    [Repeat Chorus Twice]

    Rap
    Listen! I got problems of my own
    They're flashing cameras... taps on my phone
    People in my home... I'm safe as I should be
    Things always missing... Maybe... It could be my friend
    They ain't friends if they're robbing me
    Stopping me from making the profit scene
    Apology... Shallow like the ocean... I guess I was ought to control 'em
    If I was that desperate to smoke... I probably be by my mohsin
    I'm a killer maker... I ain't joking
    In those smoke that got me choking my hope and my food come slipping
    So I can blow 'em open
    This time around, I changed up my flow
    Got really got rockslide pits by the Doh's
    I really said to people to watch my back, Stay away from strangers
    So away from slack... Now I know that Mic

    [Repeat Chorus]

    Money
    Written and composed by Michael Jackson

    Money... Money...Lie for it, Spy for it, Kill for it, Die for it!
    So U 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 U go to church, 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, The thrill for the money
    You're saluting the flag, Your country trusts U
    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 U my friend but...
    If U show me the cash, Then I will take it
    If U tell me to cry, Then I will fake it
    If U give me a hand, Then I will shake it
    You'll do anything for money...

    [Chorus:]
    Anything... Anything... Anything for money!
    Would lie for U! Would die for U!
    Even sell my soul to the devil!
    Anything... Anything... Anything for money!
    Would lie for U! Would die for U!
    Even sell my soul to the devil!

    Insurance? Where do your loyalties lie?
    Is that your alibi? I don't think so
    U don't care, You'd do her for the money
    Say it's fair, U sue her for the money
    Want your pot of gold, Need the Midas touch
    Bet U sell your soul cuz your God is such
    U don't care, U kill for the money
    Do or dareThe thrill for the money
    Are U infected with the same disease of lust, gluttoney and greed?
    Then watch the ones with the biggest smiles
    The idle jabbers...Cuz they're the backstabbers
    If U know it's a lie, Then U will swear it
    If U give it with guilt, Then U will bear it
    If it's taking a chance, Then U will dare it
    You'll do anything for money...

    [Repeat Chorus Twice]

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

    [Repeat Chorus Till End]

    Written and composed by John Lennon and Paul McCartney

    Come together babe! Come together babe!
    Come together, Come together

    U ARE NOT ALONE
    Written and composed by R. Kelly

    Another day has gone... I'm still all alone
    How could this be? You're not here with me!
    U never said goodbye... Someone tell me why?
    Did U 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:]
    U are not alone
    For I am here with U
    Though you're far away
    I am here to stay
    U are not alone
    I am here with U
    Though we're far apart
    You're always in my heart
    U are not alone

    All alone...Why? oh

    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?
    Then something whispers in my ear and says

    [Repeat Chorus]

    Whisper three words and I'll come runnin'
    And girl U know that I'll be there... I'll be there!

    [Repeat Chorus]
    For I am here with you (I am here with� U)
    Though you're far away (Though you're far away)
    I am here to stay
    For you are not alone (U are always in my heart!)
    For I am here with U
    Though we're far apart
    You're always in my heart
    For U are not alone

    If U reach out for me girl... In the morning... In the everning!
    Not alone! Not alone! U and me not alone!
    Together... Together, Just stop being alone! Just stop being alone!

    CHILDHOOD
    Written and composed by Michael Jackson

    Have U 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! The 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 U seen my childhood? I'm searching for that wonder in my youth
    Like priates and adventurous dreams of conquest and kings on the throne!
    Before U judge me, Try hard to love me!
    Look within your heart then ask... Have U seen my childhood?

    People say I'm strange that way cause I love such elementry things...
    It's been my fate to compensate for the childhood... I've never known!

    Have U 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 U judge me, Try hard to love me! The painful youth I've had!

    Have U seen my childhood?

    Tabloid Junkie

    In the hood... Frame him if U could
    Shoot to kill... To blame him if U 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... The headline stories of all your glory

    It's slander! With the words U use
    You're a parasite in black and white... Do anything for news!
    If U don't go and buy it!(buy it) Then they won't glorify it!(glorify it)

    2 BAD
    Written by Michael Jackson, Composed by Bruce Sweden, Rene Moore and Dallas Austin

    Told me that you're doin' wrong, Word out shockin' all alone!
    Cryin' wolf ain't like a man, Throwin' rocks to hide your hands!
    U ain't done enough for me... U ain't done enough for me
    U are disgustin' me, Yeah yeah!
    You're aiming just for me! U are disgustin' me... Just want your cut from me!

    [Chorus:]
    Too bad too bad about it! Why don't U scream and shout it?
    Too bad too bad about it! Why don't U scream and shout it?
    Too bad too bad about it! Why don't U scream and shout it?
    Too bad too bad about it! Why don't U scream and shout it?

    Hell all up in Hollywood, Sayin' that U got it good
    Creepin' from a dusty hole, Tales of what somebody told
    What do U want from me? What do U want from me?
    Tired of U haunting me, Yeah yeah!
    You're aiming just for me, U are disgustin' me
    U got blood lust for me but too bad too bad!
    Look who got slapped in the face, It's dead and stuffy in the place
    I'm right back where I wanna be, I'm standin' though you're kickin' me

    [Repeat Chorus Twice]

    (Rap: Shaquille O'Neal)
    Life's about a dream
    I'm really undefeated when MJ is on my team, theme

    [Repeat Chorus Twice]

    Too bad too bad about it!

    HISTORY
    Written and composed by Michael Jackson, James Harris and Terry Lewis

    He got kicked in the back, He say that he needed that
    He hot willed in the face, Keep daring to motivate
    He say one day U will see, His place in world history
    He dares to be recognized, The fires deep in his eyes

    How many victims must there be
    Slaughtered in vain across the land
    And how many struggles must there be
    Before we choose to live the prophet's plan
    Everybody sing...

    [Chorus:]
    Every day create your history... Every path U take you're leaving your legacy
    Every soldier dies in his glory... Every legend tells of conquest and liberty

    Don't let no one get U down, Keep movin' on higher ground
    Keep flying until, U are the king of the hill
    No force of nature can break, Your will to self motivate
    She say this face that U see... Is destined for history

    How many people have to cry
    The song of pain and grief across the land
    And how many children have to die
    Before we stand to lend a healing hand
    Everybody sing...

    [Repeat Chorus]
    Every day create your history... Every page U turn you're writing your legacy
    Every hero dreams of chivalry... Every child should sing together in harmony

    All nations sing... Let's harmonize all around the world

    How many victims must there be... Slaughtered in vain across the land
    And how many children must we see before we learn to live as brothers
    And create one family oh...

    [Repeat Chorus]
    Every day create your history... Every page U turn you're writing your legacy
    Every hero dreams of chivalry... Every child should sing together in harmony

    A soldier dies...A mother cries
    The promised child shines in a baby's eyes
    All nations sing... Let's harmonize all around the world

    LITTLE SUSIE
    Written and composed by Michael Jackson

    Somebody killed little Susie... The girl with the tune, Who sings in the daytime at noon
    She was there screaming, Beating her voice in her doom but nobody came to her soon...

    A fall down the stairs, Her dress torn
    Oh the blood in her hair... A mystery so sullen in air
    She lie there so tenderly, Fashioned so slenderly
    Lift her with care... Oh the blood in her hair...

    Everyone came to see, The girl that now is dead, So blind stare the eyes in her head...
    And suddenly a voice from the crowd said:
    "This girl lived in vain her face bear such agony, such strain!"
    But only the man from next door knew Little Susie and how he cried
    As he reached down, To close Susie's eyes...
    She lie there so tenderly, Fashioned so slenderly
    Lift her with care... Oh the blood in hair...

    It was all for God's sake, For her singing the tune... For someone to feel her despair!
    To be damned to know hoping is dead and you're doomed
    Then to scream out and nobody's there... She knew no one cared...
    Father left home, Poor mother died leaving Susie alone
    Grandfather's soul too had flown...
    No one to care Just to love her, How much can one bear?
    Rejecting the needs in her prayers...

    Neglection can kill, Like a knife in your soul
    Oh it will! But Susie fought so hard to live...
    She lie there so tenderly, Fashioned so slenderly
    Lift her with care, So young and so fair...

    SMILE
    Written by John Turner and Geoffrey Parsons
    Composed by Charlie Chaplin

    Smile... Though your heart is aching! Smile... Even though it's breaking!
    When there are clouds in the sky You'll get by...
    If U smile With your fear and sorrow... Smile and maybe tomorrow...
    You'll find that life is still worthwhile if you'll just...

    Light up your face with gladness... Hide every trace of sadness
    Although a tear may be ever so near... That's the time U must keep on trying
    Smile... What's the use of crying?
    You'll find that life is still worthwhile, If you'll just...
    Smile... Though your heart is aching! Smile... Even though it's breaking!
    When there are clouds in the sky You'll get by...
    If U smile With your fear and sorrow... Smile and maybe tomorrow...
    You'll find that life is still worthwhile if you'll just...

    That's the time... U must keep on trying
    Smile... What's the use of crying?
    You'll find that life is still worthwhile, If you'll just Smile!
