     B5                               C5         A5
When cops are taking care of business I can understand

        B5           C5              A5
But the L.A. story's gone way out of hand

      B5                       C5               A5
Their acts of aggression, they say they're justified

    B5                        C5               A5
But it seems an obsession has started from the inside

        B5          C5           A5
They're shooting anyone who even tries to run

        B5              C5        A5
They're shooting little kids with toy guns

B5                    C5                A5
Take it to a jury but they don't give a damn

            B5                         C5         A5
Because the one who tells the truth is always the policeman

[Verse 2]
    B5           C5           A5
The city of L.A. feels like a prison

     B5              C5               A5
With helicopters overhead and bullets whizzing by

B5          C5       A5
Martial law ain't no solution

B5                      C5     A5
Police brutality's just social pollution

B5                                 C5          A5
They say they're keeping the peace But I'm not buying it

          B5                    C5       A5
because a billy club ain't much of a pacifier

B5                        C5                 A5
"Protecting your freedom" Man, that's just a lie

        B5                      C5           A5
It's an excuse for power that's more like an alibi

B5            C5             A5
Law and order doesn't really matter

     B5             C5                  A5
When you're the one getting bruised and battered

    B5                 C5                       A5
You take it to a jury, they'll throw it in your face

        B5              C5                A5
Because justice in L.A. comes in a can of mace now
