What song is this

I have a song stuck in my head, from a dream, yet which I think is real. I think the chorus is a long "Tonight" followed by something like "you don't care about us". Female singer. 6/8 time, maybe. I recorded what I remember the melody as (and version with what the chord root notes maybe sound like to me). Does anyone know this song?
Please excuse the sound recording quality, I did it with two phones and a piano on a website.

Not a close match, but shares some words, tempo and melodic ideas: Tracy Ullman's "They Don't Know"

Sounds like the same minor scale in Michael Jackson's "They Don't Care About Us" - melody kicks in around 40 sec in

Is it obvious that you already ruled out You Don't Care About Us by Placebo?

Tracy Ullman's "They Don't Know "
Or the Kirsty MacColl original.

Can you tell us anything more about the style, like is it old or new, pop, rock, folk or anything else?
