Offspring - L. A. P. D. Lyrics
When cops are taking care of business I can understandBut the l.a. storys gone way out of handTheir acts of aggression, they say theyre justifiedBut it seems an obsession has started from the insideTheyre shooting anyone who even tries to runTheyre shooting little kids with toy gunsTake it to a jury but they dont give a damnBecause the one who tells the truth is always the policemanChorusBeat all the niggersBeat whoever you seeDont need a reason(were) l.a.p.d.The city of l.a. feels like a prisonWith helicopters overhead and bullets whizzing byMartial law aint no solutionPolice brutalitys just social pollutionBeat all the white trashBeat whoever you seeDont need a reason(were) l.a.p.d.They say theyre keeping the peaceBut Im not buying it because a billy club aint much of a pacifierprotecting your freedomNow thats just a lieIts an excuse for power thats more like an alibiLaw and order doesnt really matterWhen youre the one getting bruisedand batteredYou take it to a jury, theyll throw it in your faceBecause justice in l.a. comes in a can of maceChorus
