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 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.
