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 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
[ L.A.P.D. lyrics found on http://www.completealbumlyrics.com ]
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 bruised and 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

[silentsniper125]

@TheSkatenoobs depends on the context though, if youre a comedian and you say nigga/cracker then it sorta ok or if you're using it in music lyrics ironically maybe? e.g If you listen to a song called "White Noise" by a punk band called stiff little fingers they say a lotta racist stuff in that but they are an anti racist band and saying the lyrics ironically

@lazrpo

I don't think that statement is true at all, no one doubts Hitler wasn't intelligent, they just realize how much he wasted that intelligence on hate and racism.

The song is about the racist and corrupt LAPD. The words are merely there to represent a sentiment that the police are just there to enforce the will of the elite and fuck everyone else. You need to get this back on topic children.
