From Fagin's garret to basement clubs,

from cut throat razors to cuban cigars,

from Whitechapel alleys to Belgravia flats,

people got bought, people got sold,

services rendered, favours returned.

 

Slanders concocted - lessons learned. 

Crime has always, always paid.

 

Now online sticky fingers

in respectable houses in nowhere towns

tap away their morse code dreams

in the same old, same old criminal way

'cause crime will always, always pay.
