Crime Pays

Everyone knows that crime pays

And everybody does it

Everyone knows that crime pays

And everybody loves it

Oh the street's looking hard

Got a fresh credit card

I believe in the power

Of people with resolve

It took six months of trials

Just to put me in jail

In seven long years

They never offered ba-a-a-il

Everyone knows that crime pays

And everybody does it

Everyone knows that crime pays

And everybody loves it

Everybody loves it

Just cause and a search

To find the shovel and the dirt

I am just sticking to my work

I am just sticking to my work

I found the files on the run

Up to denial

Lassie running to the well

At the sound of a bell now

Everyone knows that crimes pays

And everybody does it

Everyone knows that crime pays

And everybody loves it

Everybody loves it

Everyone knows that crime pays

And everybody does it

Everyone know that crime pays

And everybody loves it

Everybody loves it
