VERSE I:
Dm Am Dm Am
Dirty Davey's down the front and he's met the coppers there
Dm Am Bb Dm
They'll be taking you in cos they hate your skin, he's dragged away by the hair
CHORUS:
Dm Am
It's a kick in the head and a prison bed
Dm Am
And you tell me it's the law
Dm C Am Bb
Dm Am Dm Am
VERSE II:
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
CHORUS
Dm Am Dm Am
VERSE III:
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
CHORUS
Dm Am Dm Am
VERSE IV:
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
CHORUS
VERSE V:
Well Davey's had it up to here banging his head on the wall
So he tied his pants to the prison bars and he's hung till he's clear of it all
CHORUS
Dm Am Dm Am
VERSE VI:
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
CHORUS
OUTRO:
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
