Cops Beating Down on Hippie Scum at the 1968 Democratic National Convention Songtext
von Negative XP

Working class, family man
Got groceries in the sedan
Life is hard, but can′t complain
Just gotta take it day-to-day
Work a 9-to-5 to bring home the bacon
But sometimes it gets so frustrating
The dopers, the robbers, and the freaks
Making it unsafe on the streets

So he's got his gun
He′s got his badge
He's got a stick
To beat and thrash
All the low class dregs of society
A simple man, keeping the peace

Beat, beat, beat
Kill, kill, kill
Stomp and rock 'till they lose their will
Shoot first, and ask questions later
A gun is the greatest negotiator


Then one day, all these degenerate hippie freaks
Start marching and spreading their PECO propaganda
On the streets

So beat, beat, beat
Kill, kill, kill
Stomp and rock ′till they lose their will
Shoot first, and ask questions later
A gun is the greatest negotiator

Beat, beat, beat
Kill, kill, kill
Stomp and rock ′till they lose their will
Shoot first, and ask questions later
A gun is the greatest negotiator


Beat, beat, beat
Kill, kill, kill
Stomp and rock 'till they lose their will
Beat, beat, beat
Kill, kill, kill
Stomp and rock ′till they lose their will
Beat, beat, beat
Kill, kill, kill
Stomp and rock 'till they lose their will
Beat, beat, beat
Kill, kill, kill
Stomp and rock ′till they lose their will
Beat, beat, beat
Kill, kill, kill
Stomp and rock 'till they lose their will
Beat, beat, beat
Kill, kill, kill
Stomp and rock ′till they lose their will
Beat, beat, beat
Kill, kill, kill
Stomp and rock 'till they lose their will
