Operation Eagle Lie Lyrics - 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 PC PR the designer policeman 

Putting up a smokescreen with his multicolored 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 

He knows and we know that it's rotten to the core 

Rotten to the core 

Black man on a double yellow 

Yeah, 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 were mugging 

ADF, taking them on at I-spy 

Watching them, watching us 

Operation eagle lie 

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 

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, [Incomprehensible] 

CPS is the piggy's alibi 

None of them are ever prepared to be the fall guy 

ADF, taking them on at I-spy 

Watching them, watching us 

Operation eagle lie 

Now I'm giving to you and I am driving into you 

The truth, no number crunching 

It's just your mind that were mugging 

ADF, taking them on at I-spy 

Watching them, watching us 

Operation eagle lie 

[Incomprehensible]
