Mini-critique N°284

Paroles :

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

Peek in the shadow, come into the light

You tell me I'm wrong

Then you better prove you're right

You're sellin' out souls but I, I care about mine

I've got to get stronger

Then I won't give up the fight

With such confusion, don't it make you wanna scream? (make you wanna 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 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 (You just, you just, uh)

Tired of you tellin' the story your way

It's causin' confusion

You think it's okay, damn it

You keep changin' the rules while I, I keep playin' the game

I can't take it much longer

I think I might go insane

With such confusion, don't it make you wanna scream? (make you wanna scream)

Your bash abusin' victimize within' the scheme (I keep screamin' that)

You find your pleasure scandalizin' every lie

Oh Father, please have mercy

'Cause I just can't take it

Stop pressurin' me

Just stop pressuring' me

Stop pressuring' me

Make me wanna scream

Stop pressurin' me

Just stop pressurin' me

Stop fuckin' with me

Make me wanna scream

Oh my God, can't believe what I saw as I turned on the TV

This evening, I was disgusted by all the injustice

All the injustice (all the injustice)

With such delusion, don't it make you wanna scream? (make you wanna scream)

Your bash abusin' victimize within the scheme (make you wanna scream)

You try to cope with every lie they scrutinize

Oh brother, please have mercy

'Cause I just can't take it

Just can't take it

Stop pressurin' me

Just stop pressurin' me

Just 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

Make me wanna scream

Stop pressurin' me

Just stop pressurin' me

Stop pressurin' me

Make me wanna scream

Critique :

''Scream'' était le premier single extrait du neuvième album studio de Michael Jackson, HIStory, Past, Present and Future, Book 1. Sorti le 31 mai 1995, ce duo entre Michael et sa sœur cadette Janet a connu un succès planétaire. Le morceau a été écrit, composé et produit par Jimmy Jam et Terry Lewis en collaboration avec les deux Jackson.

''Scream'' est un titre énergique et percutant, mélangeant dance-pop, new jack swing et R&B. Les paroles constituent une réponse véhémente à la couverture médiatique sensationnaliste des accusations d'abus sexuels sur mineurs portées contre Michael Jackson en 1993.

Le single, porté par le clip iconique (et à l'époque le plus coûteux) de Mark Romanek, a été un véritable phénomène mondial.
