Don't Do the Crime

Don't do the crime,

If you can't do the time

It's said that it just don't pay.

But what good's working hard

When all they give you is your cards

And you know there's not much you can say.

So you take what they give

You've no money to live

And your family don't understand.

After all these years

They will end up in tears

With a mountain of bills in their hands.

Now your lesson is learned

There's nowhere to turn

And it's no use pleading for help.

When you're left on the heap

There is nothing to keep you

From going and helping yourself

When you're left on the heap

There is nothing to keep you

From going and helping yourself

helping yourself

The dilemma you've found

Is you're morally bound

Now your moral code needs a review

So what do you care

You know life isn't fair

And for years they've been stealing from you.

Now your lesson is learned

There's nowhere to turn

And it's no use pleading for help.

When you're left on the heap

There is nothing to keep you

From going and helping yourself

When you're left on the heap

There is nothing to keep you

From going and helping yourself

helping yourself

The dilemma you've found

Is you're morally bound

Now your moral code needs a review

So what do you care

You know life isn't fair

And for years they've been stealing from you.

Now your lesson is learned

There's nowhere to turn

And it's no use pleading for help.

When you're left on the heap

There is nothing to keep you

From going and helping yourself

When you're left on the heap

There is nothing to keep you

From going and helping yourself

When you're left on the heap

There is nothing to keep you

From going and helping yourself

When you're left on the heap

There is nothing to keep you

From going and helping yourself

When you're left on the heap

There is nothing to keep
