This song satirizes the war on drugs primarily by depicting the cruelty and excessiveness of those enforcing it. As it goes on, it makes some very specific and pointed overarching complaints about the system, culminated all by a heartrending punchline.
Some of the details of this song seem inspire...
Drug Raid at 4 AM Lyrics
("I've got him at gun point.")
("This is your brain on drugs.")
("Get back! Get up, you!")
("Welcome to the glamorous world of drugs.")
("Dr-drugs make me cool! Drugs make me cool! Drugs make me cool!")
("Police!")
"Stay right where you are! Get out of that bed and get down on the floor!
Get out of that bed right now! Right away! Get down those stairs!
I don't care if you're nude, get down on the cement! I don't care if it's freezing!
Where's the drugs?! We know you've got some drugs! Shut up, man!
Make him shut up, man! Stay right where you are! Where's the drugs?!
We know you got some drugs! You sell 'em [?] You stole 'em [?]
We know you got 'em, we know you got 'em, we have people that say you did it, man!
We know you did it! We got witnesses!
[Bridge]
No!
Stop!
Please!
No!
Stop!
Stop!
Stop!
No!
Sheets off
Flashlight in your eyes
FREEZE!
Guns in your gut
Strip down
Body search
Cough up
Or stomach pump
To fight the war on drugs
You must give up your rights
You blink, you die
I hate you more than my job
[Bridge]
No!
Stop!
Please!
No!
Stop!
Stop!
Stop!
No!
[Chorus]
Drug raid at 4 a.m
Drug raid at 4 a.m
Drug raid at 4 a.m
Drug raid at 4 a.m
"Hey, hey hey, hey, hey hey, now!"
"Hey, hey hey, hey, hey hey, now!"
"Who are you, your name ain't on the lease! Where are you supposed to live?!
What's this, NWA?! Turn that off!
Smash open that stereo! Drugs could be inside the speaker! Smash the speakers!
Smash that TV! Start cutting open their furniture!
I'll bet they got drugs sewn up in the furniture!"
Random neighborhood sweeps
'Copters break up house parties
Zero tolerance for pot
Easier to get hard stuff
Costs over 3 times more
To keep an addict in jail
Than treat those trying to quit
But no drug war funds for clinics
[Bridge]
No!
Stop!
Please!
No!
Stop!
Stop!
Stop!
No!
[Chorus]
Drug raid at 4 a.m
Drug raid at 4 a.m
Drug raid at 4 a.m
Drug raid at 4 a.m
"What's this wad of bills doing here?! Why are you keeping so much cash around?!
Huh, huh, huh, huh, huh?!
Well, your kids use drugs, same difference! We'll have you all out of here!
You're all going to wind up out on the street! Say one word of this and we're gonna get you later!
Do you fuckin' know that?! Do you know that?!
I'll bet you stole those tires in the garage too, man!
Whoops! Sorry! Wrong house
