[Michael Jackson:]
I'm tired of injustice, I'm tired of the schemes
Your lies are disgusting
So what does it mean, damn it
Kickin' me down, I got to get up
As jacked as it sounds
The whole system sucks, damn it

[Janet Jackson:]
Peek in the shadow, come into the light
You tell me I'm wrong
Then you better prove you're right
You're selling out souls, but I, I care about mine
I've got to get stronger
And I won't give up the fight

[Michael Jackson (Janet Jackson) {Both}:]
With such confusion
Don't it make you want to scream? (Make you want to scream)
Your bash abusin' victimize within the scheme
(You try to cope with every lie they scrutinize)
{Somebody please have mercy}
{'Cause I just can't take it}

{Stop pressuring me, just stop pressuring me}
{Stop pressuring me, make me want to scream}
{Stop pressuring me, just stop pressuring me}
{Stop pressuring me, make me want to scream}
You just, you just

[Michael Jackson (Janet Jackson):]
I'm tired of you tellin' (Tellin')
The story your way (Story your way)
You're causin' confusion (Confusion)
You think it's okay, damn it
(You keep changin' the rules)
(While I, I keep playing the game)
(I can't take it much longer)
(I think I might go insane)
Ah, baby

[Michael Jackson (Janet Jackson) {Both}:]
With such confusion, don't it make you want to scream? (Make you want to scream)
Your bash abusin' victimize within the scheme
(You find your pleasure scandalizing every lie)
{Oh Father, please have mercy, 'cause I just can't take it}

[Michael Jackson
