Lyrics

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 deliberate kept secret to avoid the police Wait, where you think you're going to? - Must be told. We don't know, it's like mistery (that's the mistery of acid) -This is Acid, man This is Acid, maaaaaaaaan.... But it was only a 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 complains 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 aswell -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 mistery (that's the mistery of acid) -This is Acid, man. This is Acid... This is Acid, man. This is Acid (repeated) 30-Something years later...
