    创作这首歌前,Michael刚刚因白人的种族歧视而受到深重的侮辱和伤害。在这首血泪之作中,Michael声嘶力竭地痛斥种族歧视分子和3K党,呼吁消灭种族歧视。他俨然是一个为自由而战、为和平而战的英勇顽强的战士,他激动人心的高亢嗓音给予了黑人无限的希望与力量。

    歌曲简介:

    这首遭遇到极大争议的歌曲,在美国榜上仅仅落到第30位,而在英国它还算是打进了前5。由于在歌词中有"Jew me"(说我是犹太人)、"Kike me"(说我是犹太人),而被误解为歧视犹太人,因此该曲在美国所有电台遭到禁播,而Michael也不得不为此道歉,并且用音效处理把这两句遮掩掉。"They Don't Care About Us"本身则比它在排行榜上的表现要优秀得多,短促紧凑的歌词演唱,使听众过耳难忘。这首歌曲与"Black Or White"不同,Michael在歌中毫无掩饰地宣泄着自己的愤怒、控诉着社会的黑暗。由于Michael自己是这场不平等社会的受害者,所以使此曲尤为真切。在歌词当中,他甚至对于美国政府、警察暴力、种族隔离等等都直言不讳,他对现实深深不解,对未来希望渺茫,期望罗斯福和马丁·路德·金这样的人物再次出现。不断地重复着"All I wanna say is that / They don't really care about us"(我只是想说/他们从来不在乎我们),这首最大胆的作品,显然得不到吹捧,但Michael Jackson还是用他无与伦比的创作才华将此曲的节奏发挥得淋漓尽致,在事实上成为了他的又一首经典之作。
