And he's met the coppers there
They'll be taking you in cos they hate your skin
And you're dragged away by the hair
It's a kick in the head and a prison bed
And you tell me it's the law
Well Davey's out on two weeks bail
And he's down the town to score
When it all falls in and he's pinned by the chin
And they've busted every floor
It's a kick in the head and a prison bed
And you tell me it's the law
Davey's down the old grey squat
And he's lying with his lass
When there's a brick through the pane
And he's out on the lane
With the bailiffs and the glass
It's a kick in the head and a prison bed
And you tell me it's the law
The court comes up on a monday morning
And Davey's in the dock
He can't stop his tears
When he gets two years
And he can't turn back the clock
It's a kick in the head and a prison bed
And you tell me it's the law
Well Davey's had it up to here...
Banging his head on the wall
So he's tied his pants to the prison bars...
And he's hung till he's clear of it all
It's a kick in the head and a prison bed
And you tell me it's the law... Hey
There's a law for the rich
And a law for the poor
And a law for Dirty Davey
His body's gone but his soul lives on
Here's to you Dirty Davey
It's a kick in the head and a prison bed
And you tell me it's the law
Corrupt, corrupt from the bottom to the top
And you tell me it's the law
Corrupt, corrupt from the bottom to the top
And you tell me it's the law
Corrupt, corrupt from the bottom to the top
And you tell me it's the law
Corrupt, corrupt from the bottom to the top
And you tell me it's the law
Dirty Davey's down the front And he's met the coppers there They'll be taking you in cos they hate your skin And you're dragged away by the hair It's a kick in the head and a prison bed And you tell me it's the law Well Davey's out on two weeks bail And he's down the town to score When it all falls in and he's pinned by the chin And they've busted every floor It's a kick in the head and a prison bed And you tell me it's the law Davey's down the old grey squat And he's lying with his lass When there's a brick through the pane And he's out on the lane With the bailiffs and the glass It's a kick in the head and a prison bed And you tell me it's the law The court comes up on a monday morning And Davey's in the dock He can't stop his tears When he gets two years And he can't turn back the clock It's a kick in the head and a prison bed And you tell me it's the law Well Davey's had it up to here... Banging his head on the wall So he's tied his pants to the prison bars... And he's hung till he's clear of it all It's a kick in the head and a prison bed And you tell me it's the law... Hey There's a law for the rich And a law for the poor And a law for Dirty Davey His body's gone but his soul lives on Here's to you Dirty Davey It's a kick in the head and a prison bed And you tell me it's the law Corrupt, corrupt from the bottom to the top And you tell me it's the law Corrupt, corrupt from the bottom to the top And you tell me it's the law Corrupt, corrupt from the bottom to the top And you tell me it's the law Corrupt, corrupt from the bottom to the top And you tell me it's the law Explain Request ×
