'They Don't Care About us' lyrics

[WILL-I-AM]

In the song They don't care about us he sings " I have a wife and two children who love me" but he didn't have children yet. So why does he sang it?

 

[Arklove]

^^ He meant when he was married to Lisa Marie...He meant her 2 children...

This has been discussed a bunch of times, with the two possible explanations being the LMP one above and also that he was not writing strictly autobiographically but about the stereotypical "wife and 2 kids" of many families. I lean toward the first myself....

 

[HIStory]

In the song They don't care about us he sings " I have a wife and two children who love me" but he didn't have children yet. So why does he sang it?

He was married to LMP at the time who had two children.

ok thanks!

He was still married to Lisa when that video was made? Man, you guys are smart!

 

[Dangerous Incorporated]

No Michael was already divorced when the video's for TDCAU were made BUT he was married to LMP when he wrote and recorded the song.

I think Mr. Jackson does not reffer to himself, but to the average man in general.
The song is for all people who suffer injustice daily, not only for himself. Just my opinion...
