One steals a bottle of drink
Gets caught and ends in klink
And is then never happy with his life again
The other rips off millions
But he doesn't get caught
And lies in the sun somewhere
And the moral of the story
You've got it already
If you've got nout, you're done for
[Refrain:]
Because the big are let go
And the little are put away
Lady Justice does seem a little blind
Yeah, yeah, the big are let go
And the little are done for
Justice, it has a heart of stone
One gets hauled to court
He's failed on a loan
Has no money for a lawyer – so it's jail
The other, he's bagged too much
He's made a quick, cool deal
And pays as much tax as suits him
And the moral of the story
You've got it already
All's not lost, you just need money
Refrain
Because guilt is two-faced
The little get the stick while the big go free
And whoever pays is always right
Fraud is a cavalier offence
A good lawyer knows the trick
Can't afford him – what bad luck
And the moral of the story
Crime does pay
But only when it's more than a million
Because the big are let go
And the little are put away
Lady Justice does seem a little blind
Yeah, yeah, the big are let go
And the little are put away
Justice, it has a heart of stone
(Justice, it has a heart of stone)
Yeah, justice, it has a heart of stone
