Obligatory Micheal Jackson Lyrics



I don't care what you talkin' 'bout baby/
I don't care what you say/
Don't you come walkin' beggin' back mama/
I don't care anyway/

Time after time I gave you all of my money/
No excuses to make/
Ain't no mountain that I can't climb baby/
All is goin' my way/

'Cause there's a time when you're right and you know you must fight/
(Who's laughing baby? Don't you know?)
And there's the choice that we make and this choice you willtake/
(Who's laughing baby?) So just/

Leave me alone
Leave me alone
Leave me alone
leave me alone! Stop it
Just stop doggin' me around!


After listening to the radio on my way home from running, I realized that it's kinda like the OJ verdict all over again. Endless lines of callers declared their support for Jackson; multiple black rap stations played Michael Jackson songs. So it seems that despite all the jokes and the anti-Jackson rhetoric from the black community (it's sad, but when I was a kid, we used to have a rhyme that went "I pledge allegience to the flag/ Michael Jackson is a fag"), blacks seem to have embraced the decision and to have embraced Jackson himself. Despite all of his "changes," Jackson, apparantly, is still one of us. Strange times indeed. At least the Jackson media circus is over with... for now.
