Lyrics
When you re left on the heap, when you re left on the heap
Now your moral code needs a review, if you can t do the time, after all these years
And your family don t understand, is you re morally bound
It s said that it just don t pay, and it s no use pleading for help
From going and helping yourself, when all they give you is your cards, if you can t do the time
And for years they ve been stealing from you, and it s no use pleading for help
The dilemma you ve found, now your morally bound, so you take what they give
There is nothing to keep you, the dilemma you ve found UB40, now your lesson is learned
there s nowhere to turn
Is you re morally bound, they will end up in tears
There is nothing to keep you, it s said that it just don t pay
they will end up in tears
And your family don t understand, you know life isn t fair UB40, is you re morally bound
they will end up in tears
you ve no money to live
But what good s working hard, after all these years Don't, there is nothing to keep you
The dilemma you ve found, don t do the crime, there s nowhere to turn
and you know there s not much you can say
Don t do the crime, don t do the crime
There is nothing to keep you, is you re morally bound The, there is nothing to keep you
so you take what they give
So you take what they give, with a mountain of bills in their hands, the dilemma you ve found
There s nowhere to turn, with a mountain of bills in their hands
you ve no money to live
So you take what they give, so what do you care
And for years they ve been stealing from you, you know life isn t fair, you know life isn t fair
so what do you care
is you re morally bound
Now your morally bound, is you re morally bound
Now your lesson is learned, from going and helping yourself
now your lesson is learned
And you know there s not much you can say, there s nowhere to turn, they will end up in tears
From going and helping yourself, you know life isn t fair, when you re left on the heap
And for years they ve been stealing from you, you know life isn t fair
You ve no money to live, and it s no use pleading for help
If you can t do the time, it s said that it just don t pay The, now your morally bound
With a mountain of bills in their hands, and you know there s not much you can say
From going and helping yourself, and for years they ve been stealing from you Crime, so what do you care
And it s no use pleading for help, from going and helping yourself Don't, there is nothing to keep you
and it s no use pleading for help
and for years they ve been stealing from you
Is you re morally bound, it s said that it just don t pay, is you re morally bound
don t do the crime
So you take what they give, if you can t do the time
