G                      D    C 
  Somebody told me about it 
G                    D         C 
  When I was still a little boy 
G                D C              G   D  C 
  He said to me,   crime does not pay 
G                D    C             G    D    C 
  He said to me,   education is the key, yeah 
G                 D             C 
  As a little boy   I thought I know

What I was doing, yeah, man

  But four gray walls staring at me 
G                           D   C 
  The policeman said to me, Son 
G 
  They won' t build no schools anymore

  All they'll build will be prison, prison
