I heard he's doing alright now hard time inside tho But he's learnt his lesson now But I'll believe when I see it coz 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 your never gonna break it if you can't earn it take it Well life don't work that way Coz some people never change Some 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 kind a start in life is that He never did go well at school, in an out of borstal But he learnt what he had to know Coz if all you ever do from the day that you leave school is work hard and live the honest life Well you'll never get no thanks coz we're all on the blag And life just works that way He' sitting at the bar now with some spanish tart Soaking up the sun in Marbella Coz he done a ronny biggs and he fucked off out of here But he ain't never coming back again So if all you ever do is follow the rules You're never gonna get nowhere So do as you please and take what you need And make life work your way
