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 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, you're 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 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
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 coz we're all
On the blag and life just works that way
Coz some people never change
Some people fade away
Some people break the rules
But only fools get caught
Some people never change
Some people fade away
Some people break the rules
But only fools get caught

He's 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 and he ain't never coming back again
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!
Coz some people never change
Some people fade away
Some people break the rules
But only fools get caught
Some people never change
Some people fade away
Some people break the rules
But only fools get caught
Coz some people never change
Some people fade away
Some people break the rules
But only fools get caught
Some people never change
Some people fade away
Some people break the rules
But only fools get caught
