Bm C Am 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: Em D Beat all the niggers Beat whoever you see Don't need a reason Am D Bm 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 Chorus: Beat all the white trash Beat whoever you see Don't need a reason 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" 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 L.A. comes in a can of Mace Chorus: Beat all the niggers Beat whoever you see Don't need a reason L.A.P.D L.A.P.D.
