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 bail
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'm just sticking to my work
I'm 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
