Life is hard and don't last too long There's no difference Between what is right and wrong I rest my defence
When you're young you grab what you can Make your name around the land But remember all the things you've been taught And never, never get caught
Things will always be very tough No time for compassion 'Cos you will never have enough Got to get your ration
Middle-aged, you got to jump right in Cause the chances are growing thin Just remember the things you've been taught And never, never ever…
'Cos when you're young you gotta grab what you can Make your name around the land But remember all the things you've been taught And never, never ever, get caught (don't get caught)
There's no way to escape from time A little love helps to mend What's the harm in a tiny crime Before you descend?
