Offspring

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 bruisedand 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

Chorus
