英文摇滚歌曲：The Offspring - L.A.P.D.

When cops are taking care of business
I can understand
But the L.A. story's gone way out of
hand
Their acts of aggression¹ they say they're
justified²
But it seems an obsession³ 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 reasonneed a
L.A.P.D.
The city of L.A. feels like a prison
With helicopters overhead and bullets
whizzing by
Martial⁴ 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
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 alibi⁵
Law and order doesn't really matter
you're the one When getting bruisedand
battered⁶
You take it to a jury they'll throw it in
your face
Because justice in L.A. comes in a can
of mace⁷
Beat all the white trash
Beat whoever you see
Don't need a reason
L.A.P.D.
L.A.P.D.
