"We've Had Enough" is a pop song sang by Michael Jackson and released in November 2004 in the album: The Ultimate Collection. An album that regrouped his best songs till now and 8 unreleased songs like we’ve had enough.

Jackson wrote this with ballad songwriter Carol Bayer Sager. It’s a protest song, an Anti-War song, about the ongoing conflict in the Middle East, particularly in Iraq.

We've had enough is a very powerful song, like all of Michael's work it has a meaning that goes beyond the glitz and glamour of Hollywood and speaks of some very heavy topics. Michael was known for writing songs that would in deed change the world. Never before has modern music seen an artist who was willing to take such risks. We've had enough was released as a part of the Michael Jackson Ultimate Collection on Nov 16th 2004. Although unreleased to radio it has quickly become a favorite among his fans.

1st passage: In this passage Michael Jackson is denouncing the men in blue, who seem to represent the army of America or the UN, by saying that they choose who ever they want and force them to go to war and put their life in danger. He is precisely talking about how the men in blue are dominating the world by doing what they want.

2nd passage: In this passage M.J is trying to push the people to react to what they are doing (the war in Iraq) and to protest against this war. He tries to raise awareness among the people by telling them to say something and not to watch stupidly without saying a word.

3rd passage: In this passage M.J is saying that it is not the government that will decide who will live and who will die and he is urging the people to be more rebellious and he thinks that the more people react, the quicker the changes will be made and thus avoiding disaster. He wants to unite the people.

This song was not released in Michael Jackson album as well as other political songs because Sony, a rapper that was working with him, only wanted dance and romantic tracks and did not have interests in Michael political messages. That’s why it is not very known.
