Don't do the crime,If you can't do the time,

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,

After all these years,They will end up in tears,
DA
With a mountain of bills in their hands.
