Now we live in desperate times
Standing ground, behind the lines
Watch my back, obey the signs
Can't avoid the futile crimes
Laws will pa**, so laws will break
Pay the price for one mistake
What you've earned, someone will take
Realize the games we make
Life's short, and time will fly
Years pa** before our eyes
Stand now, and wonder why
Crime pays, and then you die
Things change, but in the end
Fair play cannot contend
Believe you will ascend
Crime pays, I can't pretend
