Originally released as the B-Side on the Holiday in Cambodia single in 1980 and later re-released on some versions of Fresh Fruit for Rotting Vegetables and, finally, on the 1987 Give Me Convenience Or Give Me Death compilation album. This song puts the listener in the perspective of a corrupt cop...
[Verse 1]
Tonight's the night that we got the truck
We're going downtown, gonna beat up drunks
Your turn to drive, I'll bring the beer
It's the late, late shift, no one to fear
[Chorus]
And ride, ride, how we ride
And ride, low ride
[Verse 2]
It's a roundup time where the good whores meet
We're gonna drag one screaming off the street
[Chorus]
And ride, ride, how we ride
[Verse 3]
Got a black uniform and a silver badge
We're playin' cops for real, we're playin' cops for pay
[Chorus]
Let's ride, lowride
[Break]
[Verse 4]
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, got a big black stick
There's six of us, babe, so suck on my dick!
[Chorus]
And ride, ride, how we ride
Let's ride, low ride
[Verse 5]
The left newspapers might whine a bit
But the guys at the station, they don't give a shit
Dispatch calls, "Are you doing something wicked?"
"No siree, Jack, we're just givin' tickets!"
[Chorus]
Let's ride, ride, how we ride
And ride, ride, how we ride
And ride, ride, how we ride
Let's ride, low ride
