Lyrics
Step in, young man, I know your face
It's nothing in your favour
It's another world within these walls
And we'll give you a flavour
For your best young years, you'll be doing time
You'll be doing time to fit your crime
Well, this is my cell and I'll call it home
For ten long years, what you think about that?
I'll give you a tour and show you around
But there's not enough room to swing a cat
For your best young years, you'll be doing time
You'll be doing time to fit your crime
Well, the very first rule you learn in jail
Is to keep your mouth and your eyes shut too
For a grass is the one they all hate most
And you better make sure that it isn't you
Some days I think of the world outside
And the things I miss, both big and small
And there's blood on my fists and a few choice words
And a couple of red marks on the wall
For your best young years, you'll be doing time
You'll be doing time to fit your crime
And the very next thing that I would say
Is to keep away from the heavy stuff
Well, it all gets in and it cuts you down
And it doesn't give a bugger if you're weak or tough
Well, I read their books and I learned their laws
Of the treadmill wheel and the woeful ways
When they pace like rats to grind the corn
And Sundays were starvation days
For your best young years, you'll be doing time
You'll be doing time to fit your crime
And ten long years are over and past
I'll say goodbye to my bucket of slops
And I'll stay as clean as a brand new coin
And I'll keep away from the betting shops
For your best young years, you'll be doing time
You'll be doing time to fit your crime
For your best young years, you'll be doing time
You'll be doing time to fit your crime
And I won't do drugs and I won't do bikes
And I won't do time again, no thanks
Won't do drugs, won't do bikes
Won't do time again, no thanks
Won't do drugs, won't do bikes
Won't do time again, no thanks
For your best young years, you'll be doing time
You'll be doing time to fit your crime
For your best young years, you'll be doing time
You'll be doing time to fit your crime
For your best young years, you'll be doing time
You'll be doing time to fit your crime
