BURNING THE GROUND EXCLUSIVE 1987

“We Care A Lot” is a song by American rock band from San Francisco, California Faith No More.

The lyrics of this song are a sarcastic parody of “the popstar posing that accompanied those [Live Aid style] charitable events” and mentions a range of things about which the band sarcastically claims ‘we care a lot’, such as the LAPD, the “food that Live Aid bought”, the Garbage Pail Kids and even The Transformers. The original version, released in 1985, mentions Madonna and Mr. T. This was altered for social relevance in the 1987 re-release.

The song peaked at #53 on the U.K. singles chart in 1988.
