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
   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 is'nt fair
   And for years they've been stealing from you.
