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'vve rusted 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 Monday morning and Davey's in the dock He can't stop his tears when he gets two years And you 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
REEL break - easy to bash through using the same 3 chords
SLOW DC Well Davey's had it up to here DC Banging his head on the wall CBbC So he tied his pants to the prison bars Bb C D (1,2,3,4) 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
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
Its Corrupt, corrupt from the bottom to the top And you tell me it's the law
Thats the lot, a great workout for the right hand, a no-brainer for the left
