"Scream"
Performed By: Michael and Janet Jackson
Michael:
Tired of injustice. Tired of the schemes. The lies are disgusting directed at me. Kicking me down. I got to get up as jacked as it sounds. The whole system sucks.
Janet:
Peek in the shadow. I come into the light. You tell me i'm wrong then you better prove your right. Your sellin' out souls but I care about mine. I've got to get stronger. And I won't give up the fight.
Michael:
With such confusions don't it make you wanna scream. Your bash abusin' victimize within the scheme.
Janet:
You try to cope with every lie they scrutinize.
Both:
Somebody please have mercy. Cause' I just can't take it. Stop pressurin' me. Just stop pressurin' me. Stop pressurin' me. Make me wanna scream. Stop pressurin' me. Just stop pressurin' me. Stop pressurin' me. Make me wanna scream.
Michael:
Tired of you tellin' the story your way. It's causin' confusion. You think it's okay.
Janet:
You keep changin' the rules. While I keep playin' the game. I can't take it much longer. I think I might go insane.
Michael:
With such confusions don't it make you wanna scream. Your bash abusin' victimize within the scheme.
Janet:
You find your pleasure scandalizin' every lie.
Both:
Oh father, please have mercy. Cause I just can't take it. Stop pressurin' me. Just stop pressurin' me. Stop pressurin' me. Make me wanna scream. Stop pressurin' me. Just stop pressurin' me. Stop f***in' with me. Make me wanna scream.
Janet:
Oh my God, can't believe what I saw. As I turned on the t.v, the city, I was disgusted by all the injustice. All the injustice.
Michael:
All the injustice.
With such collusions don't it make you wanna scream. Your bash abusin' victimize within the scheme.
Janet:
You try to cope with every lie they scrutinize.
Both:
Oh brother, please have mercy. Cause' I just can't take it. Stop pressurin' me. Make me wanna scream. Stop pressurin' me. Just stop pressurin' me. Stop pressurin' me. Make me wanna scream. Stop pressurin' me. Make me wanna scream. Stop pressurin' me. Just stop pressurin' me. Stop pressurin' me. Make me wanna scream. Stop pressurin' me. Just stop pressurin' me. Stop pressurin' me.

There comes a time when we heed a certain call
When the world must come together as one
There are people dying
And it's time to lend a hand to life
The greatest gift of all
We can't go on pretending day by day
That someone, somewhere will soon make a change
We are all a part of God's great big family
And the truth, you know,
Love is all we need
We are the world, we are the children
We are the ones who make a brighter day
So let's start giving
There's a choice we're making
We're saving our own lives
It's true we'll make a better day
Just you and me
Send them your heart so they'll know that someone cares
And their lives will be stronger and free
As God has shown us by turning stones to bread
So we all must lend a helping hand
When you're down and out, there seems no hope at all
But if you just believe there's no way we can fall
Let us realize that a change can only come
When we stand together as one
When the world must come together as one
There are people dying
And it's time to lend a hand to life
The greatest gift of all
We can't go on pretending day by day
That someone, somewhere will soon make a change
We are all a part of God's great big family
And the truth, you know,
Love is all we need
We are the world, we are the children
We are the ones who make a brighter day
So let's start giving
There's a choice we're making
We're saving our own lives
It's true we'll make a better day
Just you and me
Send them your heart so they'll know that someone cares
And their lives will be stronger and free
As God has shown us by turning stones to bread
So we all must lend a helping hand
When you're down and out, there seems no hope at all
But if you just believe there's no way we can fall
Let us realize that a change can only come
When we stand together as one
She's out of my life
She's out of my life
And I don't know whether to laugh or cry
I don't know whether to live or die
And it cuts like a knife
She's out of my life
It's out of my hands
It's out of my hands
To think for two years she was here
And I took her for granted I was so cavalier
Now the way that it stands
She's out of my hands
So I've learned that love's not possession
And I've learned that love won't wait
Now I've learned that love needs expression
But I learned too late
She's out of my life
She's out of my life
Damned indecision and cursed pride
Kept my love for her locked deep inside
And it cuts like a knife
She's out of my life
She's out of my life
And I don't know whether to laugh or cry
I don't know whether to live or die
And it cuts like a knife
She's out of my life
It's out of my hands
It's out of my hands
To think for two years she was here
And I took her for granted I was so cavalier
Now the way that it stands
She's out of my hands
So I've learned that love's not possession
And I've learned that love won't wait
Now I've learned that love needs expression
But I learned too late
She's out of my life
She's out of my life
Damned indecision and cursed pride
Kept my love for her locked deep inside
And it cuts like a knife
She's out of my life
Looking out
Across the nighttime
The city winks a sleepless eye
Hear her voice
Shake my window
Sweet seducing sighs
Get me out
Into the nighttime
Four walls won't hold me
tonight
If this town
Is just an apple
Then let me take a bite
If they say
Why, why, tell 'em that it's
human nature
Why, why, does he do me
that way
If they say-
Why, why, tell 'em that it's
human nature
Why, why, does he do me
that way
Reaching out
To touch a stranger
Electric eyes are ev'rywhere
See that girl
She knows I'm watching
She likes the way I stare
If they say-
Why, why, tell 'em that it's
human nature
Why, why, does he do me
that way
If they say-
Why, why, tell 'em that it's
human nature
Why, why, does he do me
that way
I like lovin' this way
I like lovin' this way
(Instrumental section)
Looking out
Across the morning
Where the city's heart begins
to beat
Reaching out
I touch her shoulder
I'm dreaming of the street
Repeat Chorus (Ad-lib/fade-out)
