Don`t Do The Crime Lyrics - 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. 

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 

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.
