Lyrics Procol Harum

Procol Harum

Don’t Get Caught

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?
