Getting Away with Murder (song)

"Getting Away with Murder" is a song by the American rock band Papa Roach, released in 2004 as the title track and second single from their third studio album, Getting Away with Murder.

The song features a heavy, aggressive sound that departs somewhat from the band's earlier nu-metal style, leaning more towards a hard rock/alternative metal sound. Lyrically, "Getting Away with Murder" explores themes of societal injustice, hypocrisy, and the feeling of powerlessness in the face of corruption. It touches on the idea that those in positions of authority can often commit wrongs without facing consequences.

The single was a moderate success, reaching the top 40 on the Billboard Mainstream Rock Tracks chart. It contributed to the album's overall commercial success and helped solidify Papa Roach's transition into a more mainstream rock act. The music video for the song features the band performing interspersed with scenes depicting various forms of injustice and societal decay.
