"Don`t Do The Crime" by UB40

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.  
  

(Chorus)  

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  
When you`re left on the heap  
There is nothing to keep you  
From going and helping yourself  
From going and helping yourself.  
  

The dilemma you`ve found  
Is you`re morally bound  
Now your 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.
