Dirty Davey Lyrics - Chaos Theory - Levellers

Dirty Davey's down the front 

He's met the coppers there 

They'll take you in 'cause 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 gray squat 

And he's lying with his lass 

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 

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
