IntroDDAADDAADDAADDAAVerse 1DA
Don`t do the crime,If you can`t do the time,
DA
It`s said that it just don`t pay,
D
But what goods working hard,
A
When all they give you is your cards,
DA
And you know there`s not much you can say,
DA
So you take what they give,You`ve no money to live,
DA
And your family don`t understand,
DA
After all these years,They will end up in tears,
DA
With a mountain of bills in their hands.
ChorusD
Now your lesson is learned,There`s nowhere to turn,
A
And it`s no use pleading for help,
D
When you`re left on the heap there is nothing to keep you,
A
From going and helping yourself,
D
When you`re left on the heap there is nothing to keep you,
A
From going and helping yourself.
DDAAVerseDA
The dilemma you`ve found,Is you`re morally bound,
DA
Now your moral code needs a review,
DA
So what do you care,You know life isn`t fair,
DA
And for years they`ve been stealing from you.
ChorusD
Now your lesson is learned,There`s nowhere to turn,
A
And it`s no use pleading for help,
D
When you`re left on the heap there is nothing to keep you,
A
From going and helping yourself,
D
When you`re left on the heap there is nothing to keep you,
A
From going and helping yourself.
