[Intro]
| Em | Em | Bm | Am | (x2)
[Verse]
Em
Five to five cell closing time and Davey?s at wit's end
Bm Am
No, he hasn't smiled for days now, seems halfway around the bend
Em
Got caught up in the neighbourhood where the earnings came from crime
Bm Am Em
The chickens came and roosted, the judge declared his punishment was time
Bm Am
Em
Six months in he?s wearing thin as his head rests on the door
Bm Am
It's the lad's third stint inside this yard, you know he's seen it all before
Em
No self-refine, no guiding lines, been around too long to miss them
Bm Am
Left to reoffend, no friends in the joke of the justice system
[Chorus]
Em D Am C
Does it really work, this level of sheer confron-tation
Em D Am C
Would it be such a cir-cus if you tried to edu-cate them
Em D Am C
But you gave him a number and took away his name
Em D/F# G Am
Nothing to say if you play it this way, just a-nother day in the life of Davey
Em
Kane
[Verse]
Em
Seven degrees way overseas and Joey?s got it different
Bm Am
Had a helping hand to leave past lands and he's made a strong commitment
Em
Found touch with his family, even earned himself a trade
Bm Am
It's a-mazing just how far he's come with a little effort made
Em
Eight times Davey's asked for help but it's not the same situation
Bm Am
Un-til he's free, hostility is the rehabilitation
Em
Push him down so far and he might fail to see regret
Bm Am
If an animal?s what you're breeding son, an animal is what you'll get
[Chorus]
Em D Am C
Does it really work, this level of sheer confron-tation
Em D Am C
Would it be such a cir-cus if you tried to edu-cate them
Em D Am C
But you gave him a number and took away his name
Em D/F# G Am
Nothing to say if you play it this way, just a-nother day in the life of Davey
Em
Kane
[Solo]
| Em | Em | Bm | Am | (x2)
[Outro]
Em
He's not the best of people, but it ain't as if he kills them
Bm Am
He?s took nobody's dignity and he bears no threat to children
Em
If he won't conform then do your worst, even I can't make a case
Bm Am Em
But at least give half a go to those who intend to rejoin the rat race
