WHAT MORE CAN I GIVE?

Michael Jackson will not be releasing his long awaited charity single because of an argument over royalties. The pop singer penned ‘What More Can I Give’ to raise money for the families of the victims of the 9/11 terrorist attacks, but Jackson insists that he owns the copyright of the song and had no intention of donating any of the royalties. The only money to be donated to charity, if the single was released, would be from CD sales.

Charity begins at home,
get Bubbles on the mobile phone
to negotiate my royalty fees
I need this good cause
to drag me from my knees
and to keep my career in the stratosphere
where I know that it belongs.
What do dead people care
who gets the money from the songs?

The families will get plenty
of attention from the press
and a few dollars more
or a few million less
will surely keep them happy
keep them off the skids
and it’ll all help fund
my new theme-park for kids

And the victims will be happy
up there in heaven
if they know that my song for 9/11
is making this world a better place
for Michael Jackson and the human race.
I am the Muslim in the plane
I am the victims in the towers.
With this song I can heal the world
don’t underestimate my music’s powers

Charity begins at home,
get Bubbles on the mobile phone
The twin towers of my fame
are crumbling, crumbling
like my good name
and I really, really need the cash
to resurrect me from the awful hash
I’ve made of my life and my career.

I am not a terrorist killer.
Don’t I deserve another hit like Thriller?
