3RD FRET, X35000
WELL, DIRTY DAVEY'S DOWN THE FRONT, HE'S MET THE COPPERS THERE,
THEY'LL BE TAKING YOU IN 'COZ 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.
INST. 1:
WELL, DAVEY'S OUT ON TWO WEEKS BAIL, AND HE'S DOWN THE FRONT 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.
INST. 2: (AS INST. 1)
WELL, DAVEY'S DOWN THE OLD GREY SQUAT, HE'S LYING WITH HIS LASS,
WHEN THERE' 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.
INST. 3: (AS INST. 1)
THE COURT COMES UP ON MONDAY MORNING, DAVEY HITS THE DOCK,
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.
INST. 4
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.
IT'S A KICK IN THE HEAD AND A PRISON BED AND YOU TELL ME IT'S THE LAW.
INST. 5: (AS INST. 1)
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 SOLE 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.
INST. 6: (AS INST. 1)
IT'S CORRUPT, CORRUPT, FROM THE BOTTOM TO THE TOP,
AND YOU TELL ME IT'S THE LAW.
IT'S CORRUPT, CORRUPT, FROM THE BOTTOM TO THE TOP,
AND YOU TELL ME IT'S THE LAW.
IT'S CORRUPT, CORRUPT, FROM THE BOTTOM TO THE TOP,
AND YOU TELL ME IT'S THE LAW.
IT'S CORRUPT, CORRUPT, FROM THE BOTTOM TO THE TOP,
AND YOU TELL ME IT'S THE LAW.. AAARRGGHHH!!! (screaming optional)
INST. 7
AND THAT'S YOUR LOT... THANK FUCK...
PLAY IT LIKE A COMPLETE AND UTTER NUTTER AND YOU SHOULD FIND THE RHYTHM..
OR IF NOT I STRONGLY RECOMMEND A BOTTLE OF WHISKEY TO LOOSEN THE AUL ARMS...
ANY MOANING OR NIT PICKING T'BE HAD AND DONE, DO IT QUIETLY WITH A MESSAGE
OR SOME SUCH THE LIKE AND I'LL ENDEAVOUR TO PUT THINGS RIGHT.. RIGHT.
RIGHT.
