The Offspring - L.A.P.D. lyrics

When cops are taking care of
Business I can understand
But the LA 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

Beat all the niggers beat whoever you see
Don't need a reason lAPD

The city of LA 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
LAPD

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"
Man, it'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
'Cause justice in LA comes in a can of Mace

Beat all the niggers beat whoever you see
Don't need a reason lAPD

LAPD lAPD
