(Biafra yelling)
Stay right where you are! Get out of that bed and get down on the floor!
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! Where you got 'em?! Where you got 'em?!
Just say you did it, man! We know you did it!

(sung)
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

CHORUS
Drug raid at 4 a.m.

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 to treat those trying to quit
But no drug war funds for clinics

NO!
Stop!
Please!
NO!

CHORUS

(Biafria yelling)
Hey, your name isn't on the lease! Where are you supposed to live?!
What is this, NWA?! Turn that off!
Smash that stereo! Drugs could be inside the speaker! Smash the speakers!
Smash that TV! Start cutting open their furniture!

(sung)
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 to treat those trying to quit
But no drug war funds for clinics

NO!
Stop!
Please!
NO!

CHORUS

(Biafra yelling)
Hey, what's this wad of bills doing here?! Why are you keeping so much cash around?!
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 and we're gonna get you!
Do you fuckin' know that?! Do you know that?!
I'll bet you (?)
Whoops! Sorry! Wrong house.Lyrics provided by TANCODEhttp://lyricsever.com/" readonly=""/>

Drug Raid At 4 AM Lyrics

Lyrics provided by LyricsEver.com
Lard is a hardcore punk/Industrial band founded in 1988 as a side project by Jello Biafra (vocals), Al Jourgensen (guitar), Paul Barker (bass), and Jeff Ward (drums). Biafra is best known as the former frontman of the punk rock band Dead Kennedys. Jourgensen is the founder and only continuous member of industrial metal band Ministry, of which Barker was an official member between 1988 and 2004, and Ward was also once a touring member. Over the years, several other members of Ministry played with Lard, namely Bill Rieflin, Mike Scaccia, Louis Svitek and Rey Washam.
.
Like most of Biafra's work, Lard's songs are angrily political (the War on Drugs is a particularly common theme) but often have a tinge of humour.

Lard has not officially toured and have only performed live a handful of times, mostly around the San Francisco area (where Jello lives and operates his Alternative Tentacles record label). The band played during Ministry's 1988 tour and throughout their 1989-1990 dates (Jello was a touring member), once in Chicago after wrapping the recording of The Last Temptation Of Reid, once at the conclusion of a Ministry concert in Los Angeles (March 24, 2003), and at the San Francisco (September 26, 2004) and Seattle (September 29, 2004) dates of Ministry's Evil Doer tour. Because its key members are active with other projects, it is unlikely that the band will tour.

Jourgensen stated in 2009 that Lard would make one final album before calling it a day. However, in 2010 Biafra expressed scepticism over whether this would actually happen, saying, "Me and Al have talked about it for years, but we've never been able to nail down a time to try to put it together."
