Don't Do The Crime

Don't Do the Crime - 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

All they give you is your card

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 hand

Now your lesson is learned

There's nowhere to turn

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

The dilemma you've found

Is you're morally bound

Now your moral code

It 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

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

The dilemma you've found

Is you're morally bound

Now your moral code

It 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

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 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 you

From going and helping yourself
