And tears for fears

We must live each day

Like it's the last

Go with it, go with it!

[PEOPLE APPLAUDING]

We're at Culver Studios,

shooting green screen.

We're gonna do "The Drill" into "Cadence"

into "They Don't Really Care About Us."

And it's gonna be really cool because

they're gonna multiply the guys.

So our existing 11 guys

are gonna become 1100 guys,

and it'll be really, really cool.

So we're kind of excited.

And Michael's coming today.

MAN 1:
There's the man.

MAN 2:
There's Michael.

MAN 1:

The man is here.

MAN 3:

Whoo! Ow! Ow!

So that we can give you this:

A million people.

Michael, do you like this,

first of all?

Yeah, that's a cool move, a cool move,

but it spreads out too much to the end.

JONES:
So we can just stop it

whenever you hit the space bar.

You can go to infinity.

Yeah. As though

there's no more than

Or maybe just your nine dancers?

Ten.

Great.

Bah ooh bah ooh bah

What is that?

Jah ooh aah uh aah

One more time.

Six, seven, eight...

ALL:

Who?

Who's bad?

Who?

Who?

Skin head, dead head

Everybody gone bad

Situation, aggravation

Everybody allegation

In the suit, 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 us

All I wanna say is that

They don't really care about us

Tell me what has become

Of my rights

Am I invisible cos you ignore me?

The 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

Skin head, dead head

Everybody gone bad

Situation, speculation

Everybody allegation

Beat me, bash me

You can never trash me

Hit me, kick me

You can never get me
