The fire that burned inside me was my only companion.
The radio in the courtyard my only friend.
I'd never normally raise a hand it's just I owed him
And he kept on doubling up my interest rates.
Don't do as I do, do as I say. (X 4)
My plate was overflowing woes I need to overthrow my foes.
And the thing that really mattered was my sanity.
And the way I went to work that day was surely not the usual way,
And the way I walked with the steel against my leg.
Don't do as I do, do as I say (x4)
And when the deed was done I would not run,
I just waited for the back-up to come.
Resigned myself to 15 years,
For him there didn't drop no tears.
Now it's done, the devil bought my debt.
Don't do as I do, do as I say. (X4)
