Theme
A cover of the song by the legendary punk band **Dead Kennedys**. The track is a darkly humorous, satirical piece about the abuse of authority and recklessness. The narrator recounts riding around in a **'police truck,'** using the vehicle for irresponsible fun ('Drinking beer and chasing girls'), highlighting a corrupt or unchecked use of power and authority.
Lyrics
**Tonight's the night that we got the truck**
We're **goin' downtown, gonna beat up drunks**
Your **turn to drive, I'll bring the beer**
It's the **late, late shift, no one to fear**
**Ride, ride, how we ride**
And ride, **low ride**
It's **roundup time, where the good whores meet**
We're gonna **drag one screamin' off the street**
And **ride, ride, how we ride**
Got a **black uniform and a silver badge**
**Playin' cops for real, playin' cops for pay**
Let's ride, **low ride**
**Pull down your dress, here's a kick in the ass**
Let's **beat you blue till you shit in your pants**
**Don't move, child, I got a big black stick**
**There's six of us, babe, so suck on my dick**
And **ride, ride, how we ride**
Let's ride, **low ride**
The **left newspapers might whine a bit**
But the **guys at the station, they don't give a shit**
Dispatch calls, are ya **doin' somethin' wicked**?
No, sir Jack, we're just **givin' tickets**
And **ride, ride, how we ride**
And **ride, ride, how we ride**
And **ride, ride, how we ride**
Let's ride, **low ride**
