Saturday night in South London
Hundreds of young people are gathering for the latest craze
An acid house party in a disused warehouse
Coaches will take them to a destination
Which is deliberately been kept secret to evade the police
Wait, where you think you're going to?
Must be told
We don't know, it's like mystery (that's the mystery of acid)
This is acid, man
This is acid, man
But it was a earlier party in a peaceful setting of Sevenoaks in Kent
Which led to the most controversial policing so far
A raid on an acid house party ended in violence
And led to over 20 formal complaints against the police
At midnight about 60 policeman arrived
A group of them burst into search for drugs
It was alleged but none of the group were in police uniform
The first thing I saw, well
What I prepared to be was a bunch of hooligans
Coming charging through the door
With big black sticks flailing in the air shouting
"Get on the f-ing floor you lowlifes!"
The people, that didn't get on the floor
Immediately were just beaten on the floor, beaten to the floor
It was incredible, incredibly mindless violence
They were beating me as they took now
They weren't just roughly handling me and any other policeman
That passed on the way
Were taking a good sort of potluck punch of me as well
They were manic in there, it just terrified me
And everybody who was there was really frightened
Wait, where you think you're going to?
Must be told
We don't know, it's like mystery (that's the mystery of acid)
This is acid, man
This is acid
This is acid, man
This is acid
This is acid, man
This is acid
This is acid, man
This is acid
This is acid, man
This is acid
This is acid, man
This is acid
This is acid, man
This is acid
This is acid, man
This is acid
This is acid, man
This is acid
