It`s said that it just don`t pay,

D A
And you know there`s not much you can say,

And your family don`t understand,
D A
After all these years,They will end up in tears,
D A
With a mountain of bills in their hands.
[Chorus One]

Now your lesson is learned,There`s nowhere to turn,
A
And it`s no use pleading for help,

From going and helping yourself,
D
When you`re left on the heap there is nothing to keep you,
A
From going and helping yourself.

The dilemma you`ve found,Is you`re morally bound,

So what do you care,You know life isn`t fair,
D A
And for years they`ve been stealing from you.
[Chorus Two]

Now your lesson is learned,There`s nowhere to turn,
A
And it`s no use pleading for help,
