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 [bad word] Up to denial [bad word] 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
