Operation Eagle Lie - Asian Dub Foundation

Lies!

Damn lies and statistics

Fitting up and stitching up Down at ballistics

The back of the van

It ain’t used for seating

Just check through the window

The youth them get a beating.

Meet P.C.

P.R. the designer policeman

Putting up a smokescreen with his multi-coloured truncheon

Shake a few bad apples off the long arm of the law

But he knows and we know that it’s rotten to the core.

Black man on a double yellow —

He’s a criminal

A racial attack —

Investigation minimal

You’ll always find us on the end of a baton

When the black meets the blue

You know who’s getting spat on Now I’m giving to you and I am driving into you

The truth

No number crunching

It’s just your mind that we’re mugging

ADF taking them on at I-SPY

Watching them watching us Operation Eagle Lie.

Unity is strength and strength is unity

IC1, IC2 and also IC3

Altogether we can defend all of the community

One people, all nations

Fi reach their destiny

Before the Devil Man used to use the truncheon

To kill the Black Man is still his dream ambition

Now they have SWAT Batons and CCTV

For unusual people — just like you and me Young Sisters and Brothers dying from heart attacks

But how can we breathe when the Beast is on our back

CS gas in your lungs, eyes and your mouth

Just another police murder without a doubt.

CPS is the Piggy’s alibi

None of them are ever prepared to be the fall guy

ADF taking them on at I-Spy

Whatching them watching us Operation Eagle Lie.
