Crime Pays Lyrics by Strange Bones

England Screams

2021

Lights out
Shackles are breakin
Half a life to live a life
I’m close enough to taste it
Words control your mind
They ain’t your own
They ain’t your basis
Gimmie the ground you walk on
Gimmie the tools
So I can break it
Tear me up tear me down
Cause I ain’t gonna be nobody else
I’m on my own
Devil come and then the devil
Take a while to go
Ain’t no answer to this life
It’s true nobody know
There ain’t no right no wrong
Take me out the back
Cause everything that’s good
Is coming undone
You ain’t the only one
Throwing up the medice
It takes a while to see
The damage you’ve done
This life’s a loaded gun
And I don’t wanna
Pull the trigger
Pointed at the heart I call home
Say no right no wrong
These days I don’t wanna be
Lights out
True speak true thoughts
Make a dead boy
And nothing standing in your way
Hell boy
Crime pays money talk
Devil employ
Take a second to decide your decoy
True speak true mind
Make a dead boy
And nothing standing in your way
Hell boy
Crime pays money talk
Devil employ
Ten seconds to decide your decoy
Something breakin
Bolts coming loose
Conscience only what you make it
I don’t wanna hear one more word
You’re on a need to know basis
How ya meant to get what ya want
If ya don’t fend for yourself
If ya don’t face shit
Tear me up tear me down oh
Is there anything
Worth you ending up six feet below
Devil leave and then
The devil take a while to show
Is this shit gonna seem like nothing
When you wake up tomorrow
There ain’t no right no wrong
Take me out the back
Cause everything that’s good
Is coming undone
You ain’t the only one
Throwing up the medice
It takes a while to see
The damage you’ve done
This life’s a loaded gun
And I don’t wanna
Pull the trigger
Pointed at the heart I call home
Say no right no wrong
These days I don’t wanna be
Lights out
True speak true thoughts
Make a dead boy
And nothing standing in your way
Hell boy
Crime pays money talk
Devil employ
Take a second to decide your decoy
True speak true mind
Make a dead boy
And nothing standing in your way
Hell boy
Crime pays money talk
Devil employ
Ten seconds to decide your decoy
