๐ Lyrics
Five-to-five 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
Six 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 re-offend, no friends in the joke of the justice system
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
Seven 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
Eight 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 kills them
He's took nobody's dignity, and he bears 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
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
Six 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 re-offend, no friends in the joke of the justice system
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
Seven 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
Eight 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

He's took nobody's dignity, and he bears 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
