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

Oh!

KING [ON RECORDING]:

In what will go down in history

as the greatest demonstration for

freedom in the history of our nation.

Every day, create your history

Some things in life

They just don't wanna see

But if Martin Luther was livin'

He wouldn't let this be

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

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

All I wanna say is that

They don't really care about

All I wanna say is that

They don't really care about us

Slow umbrella fade out.

Reaching out

[MEN SPEAKING INDISTINCTLY]

[SINGS INDISTINCTLY]

[WOMAN SPEAKS INDISTINCTLY]

At a stranger

The city winks a sleepless eye

Hear her voice

Shake my window

You sound great, MJ.

You sound great.

Sweet seducing sighs

Get me out

Bam, something right there.

Into the night-time

Four walls

Won't hold me tonight

If this town

Is just an apple

Let me take a bite

If they say

Why? Why?

Tell 'em that is human nature

Why? Why?

Does he do me that way?

If they say

Why? Why?

Tell 'em that is human nature

Why? Why?

Does he do me that way?

Reaching out

Into the night-time

Electric eyes are everywhere

See that girl

She knows I'm watching

She likes the way I stare

If they say

Why? Why?

Tell 'em that is human nature

Why? Why?

Does he do me that way?

If they say

Why? Why?

Tell 'em that is human nature

Why? Why?

Does he do me that way?

I like livin' this way

I like lovin' this way

Hey, why, oh, why?

Hey, why, oh, why?

Looking out

[MUSIC PAUSES]

Across the morning

The city's heart begins to beat

See that girl

She knows I'm watching

She likes the way I stare

If they say

Why? Why?

Tell 'em that is human nature

Why? Why?

Does he do me that way?

If they say

Why? Why?

Tell 'em that is human nature

Why? Why?

Does he do me that way?

If they say

Why? Why?

Tell 'em that is human nature

Why? Why?

Does she do me that way?

Why? Why? Why?

Hey

Does he do me that way?

If they say

Why? Why? Why? Why?

Ooh

Tell 'em

Hey

I like livin' this way

I like lovin' this way
