Officer Xx

Asian Dub Foundation

Canteen culture colouring the view

From hendon to eltham, not following the clue

Corruption instruction, the life blood of the blue

The whole of the barrel is rotten and not just a few

Evidence buried with a secret handshake

Investigating officers on the double x take

Lost records and notes, excuses half baked

Screwed up afore and this is no mistake



Officer xx, it's time to liaise

Let me introduce you to the brand new krays

No mention of the gangster- 'informer' is the phrase

No communication in the 'in' and 'out' trays

Mi5, them building up combat 18?

Nazi turnouts and the bnp in between?

Running drugs for money for the loyalists?

Macpherson, how come you missed the whole a this?



Defective constable, what you gonna say?

Suspending our belief and still on full pay

Chief condon is safe, what did you expect?

Who's up next?

Calling officer xx!



Spindoctors and editors engaged in a pact

Information leaked out to cover up the facts

Daily slackmail onto a nice little earner

While another thousand cases still on the back burner

Zero tolerance for jack the home sec

Running for cover 'cause him know we're after him neck

Him a huff and him a puff

Inna de name a de law

When it come to the guilty him a man of straw



This shameful spectacle we can see clearly

Conspiracy in practice

Now not in theory

Heard all of de report and looked over the whole a de text

Time to step forward now officer xx



Defective constable, what you gonna say?

Suspending our belief and still on full pay

Chief condon is safe, what did you expect?

Who's up next?

Calling officer xx!
