Only Fools Get Caught
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
I heard he's doing alright now hard time inside tho
But he's learnt his lesson now
But I'll believe it when I see it cause I know it ain't that easy
Just to turn your back on it all
If all you ever knew from the day that you were born
Was to cheat, lie, fight and steal
Well, you're never gonna break it if you can't earn it take it
Well, life don't work that way
Cause some people never change
Some people people fade away
Some people break the rules
But only fools get caught
He was never gonna go clean, dragged up in the east end
What kinda start in life is that?
He never did do well at school in and out of borstal
But he learnt what he had to know
Cause if all you ever do from the day that you leave school
Is work hard and live and honest life
Well you'll never get no thanks cause we're all on the blag
And life just works that way
He's sitting at the bar now with some spanish tart
Soaking up the sun in marbella
Cause he done a ronny biggs and he fucked off out of here
And he ain't never coming back again
So if all you ever do is follow the rules
Your never gonna get nowhere
So do as you please and take what you need
And make life work your way
