The answer is: Livin’ On The Edge. With the music video depicting violence, vandalism, and grand theft auto, it's easy to see the connection between the song, and the band's inspiration. The 1992 L.A. Riots occurred in April and May of 1992. The civil unrest, coupled with the band's "Bad Boys from Boston" attitude, inspired the 1993 song that went on to win a Grammy Award for Best Rock Performance By A Duo or Group that same year. Weird Al's "Livin' in the Fridge" is rumored to have a different inspiration.Source
