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 people fade away 
Some people break [bad word] 
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
Coz 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 people fade away 
Some people break [bad word] 
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 [bad word] off out of here
and he ain't [bad word] back again
So if all you ever do is follow [bad word] 
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 people fade away 
Some people break [bad word] 
But only fools get caught
