"We Care a Lot" is a song by American rock band Faith No More. There are three versions of the song, all of which have been officially released on three different albums. The original was released on the band's debut studio album, We Care a Lot (1985). A re-recorded version, with new lyrics, was included on the album Introduce Yourself (1987) and was the lead single, reaching No. 53 on the UK Singles Chart. The live version, with Mike Patton on vocals, was included on the live album and video Live at the Brixton Academy (1990) and released as a single in 1991.

It was the second most frequently-played song during the band's live performances, behind "Epic". "We Care a Lot" featured different lyrics and ad-libs when performed by Mike Patton, much like performances of "Chinese Arithmetic".
