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