[Intro] D D A A D D A A D D A A D D A A [Verse One]
DDon`t do the crime,If you Acan`t do the time, It`s said Dthat it just don`t pay,A But what Dgoods working hard, When all they give Ayou is your cards, And you know Dthere`s not much you can say,A So you takeD what they give,You`ve no moAney to live, And your faDmily don`t understAand, After Dall these years,They will eAnd up in tears, With a mounDtain of bills in their hands.A
[Chorus One]
Now your leDsson is learned,There`s nowhere to turn, And it`s no Ause pleading for help, When you`re left Don the heap there is nothing to keep you, From gAoing and helping yourself, When you`re left Don the heap there is nothing to keep you, From gAoing and helping yourself.
D D A A [Verse Two]
The dileDmma you`ve found,Is you`re moArally bound, Now your mDoral code needs a reviAew, So whatD do you care,You know lifeA isn`t fair, And for yDears they`ve been stealing from you.A
[Chorus Two]
Now your leDsson is learned,There`s nowhere to turn, And it`s no Ause pleading for help, When you`re left Don the heap there is nothing to keep you, From gAoing and helping yourself, When you`re left Don the heap there is nothing to keep you, From gAoing and helping yourself.
