davie kane - jamie webster lyrics

5 to 5 cell closing time and davey’s at wit’s end
no, he hasn’t smiled for days now, seems halfway around the bend
got caught up in the neighbourhood where the earnings came from crime
the chickens came and roosted, the judge declared his punishment was time

6 months in he’s wearing thin as his head rests on the door
it’s the lad’s third stint inside this yard, you know he’s seen it all before
no self*refine, no guiding lines, been around too long to miss them
left to reoffend, no friends in the joke of the justice system

7 degrees way overseas and joey’s got it different
had a helping hand to leave past lands and he’s made a strong commitment
found touch with his family, even earned himself a trade
it’s amazing just how far he’s come with a little effort made
8 times davey’s asked for help but it’s not the same situation
until he’s free, hostility is the rehabilitation
push him down so far and he might fail to see regret
if an animal’s what you’re breeding, son, an animal is what you’ll get

does it really work, this level of sheer confrontation?
would it be such a circus if you tried to educate them?
but you gave him a number and took away his name
nothing to say if you play it this way
just another day in the life of davey kane
he’s not the best of people, but it ain’t as if he k!lls them
he’s took n0body’s dignity, and he bares no threat to children
if he won’t conform, then do your worst, even i can’t make a case
but at least give half a go to those who intend to rejoin the rat race
