I think it is about getting into a life a crime and not being able to get out of it again and also the good and evil sides of the coin and no in between, as mentoned in Goodbye Mr A.
'Marching on the spot when you should have made amends'- You should be trying to leave your life of crime.
'You'd like to be a member of the human race
You want to be a good boy
But you couldn't stand the taste'- You tried getting out of your life of crime, but the crime tempted you back in.
'If we catch a criminal
When we catch a criminal
There's nothing we can do
But play cops and robbers
Cops and robbers'- This is a reference to the good and evil mentioned in Goodbye Mr A. You are either a cop or a robber.
'Cause you say you fight for us
Cross your heart and hope to die'- You usually are loyal to fellow ciminals and wouldn't rat them out.
'Blame Simon
Because he said
You've got two lives down
And one life left'- This is sarcasm, as you only have one life and you have wasted it on crime.

That's my take on it, anyway.
