|
When cops are taking care of business I can understand
|
But the L.A. story's gone way out of hand
|
Their acts of aggression, they say they're justified
|
But it seems an obsession has started from the inside
|
They're shooting anyone who even tries to run
|
They're shooting little kids with toy guns
|
Take it to a jury but they don't give a damn
|
Because the one who tells the truth is always the policeman
|
|
CHORUS
|
Beat all the niggers
|
Beat whoever you see
|
Don't need a reason
|
(We're) L.A.P.D.
|
|
The city of L.A. feels like a prison
|
With helicopters overhead and bullets whizzing by
|
Martial law ain't no solution
|
Police brutality's just social pollution
|
|
Beat all the white trash
|
Beat whoever you see
|
Don't need a reason
|
(We're) L.A.P.D.
|
|
They say they're keeping the peace
|
But I'm not buying it because a billy club ain't much of a pacifier
|
"Protecting your freedom"
|
Now that's just a lie
|
It's an excuse for power that's more like an alibi
|
Law and order doesn't really matter
|
When you're the one getting bruised and battered
|
You take it to a jury, they'll throw it in your face
|
Because justice in L.A. comes in a can of mace
|
|
