Asian Dub Foundation - Operation Eagle Lie lyrics

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 k** 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.
