Bear Hands - Crime Pays Lyrics

Skins US

Monifort!

Heard it on Hung. Great song but don't take it seriously. Good music doesn't mean you have to.

I've always loved this goddamn song and band since that old MTV show had it on it like forever ago!!

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

thanks skins woop woop

Skins us <3

Yo they got Mike Tyson for this!

I love this song! I heard it on Hung! Awesome show!

@C0M0estas Yeah! They played it at the end of the episode where he gets arrested by that girl cop and then they do it in the back of her car, she lets him go, he uncuffs Tanya from the pole, they walk away and then...cue this song! Haha it was such a great show! It was funny too! The humor came so naturally! :) So sad it got cancelled :( lol I just saw him in that a few weeks ago!, "It's Milk and Eggs bitch" haha love that quote! XD The Mist is my favorite movie of his :D

I heard this on skins u.s also

@thinamoviieprod Jane's an under the radar type actor. I actually like how that is. that man is brilliant

I've been looking for the video to find this song for almost an hour and a half now. I think I remembered you mentioned it having been on "Hung" mixed with some other controversy

... Whoops
with the music video itself casing a gun
Well, disregard the gun bit; I think people have more of a problem with the statement of "crime paying off" while having the Iron Mike Tyson without boxing gear. They should have showed him allegedly illegally gambling to further their case. Damn, I'd make a great (hell more like an ingenious) creative partner.

I love this band--so sad the business got a hold of them-- pictures of dog fighting not ok.  I hate that they sullied themselves, cuz I would have followed them for the distance.  However, first band since falco that really understands message through music-- I wonder what they will be free to do next. 

@dissapointed Dog fighting, crime pays, bad guys win in the end... It's all about the message man/woman. lol
It's up to the good people to turn that around. You don't really believe they're promoting crime using a simpleton title such as "Crime Pays" without having a message behind the lyrics and/or the video, do you? Read between the lines or suuuuumshiiiit

Vv. B n h h b vvv b v

Thank you, alex honnold!! Turned me on to some new tunes!!

Sweet song

0:57 I would have been the one kid to snatch the whole stack of money in his hands.

What is the lady doing at 0:44 ?

probably some kind of gambling at the horse races.

+Luuullaby Road Probably looking who just won from the bets on the race that just ended so she can jack them?

01:09 Tyson!

MIKE TYSON WITH HIS LYSPING ASS!!!!!

Opening for this band was one of the greatest experiences of my life! They are amazing live!

Bear Hands is so underrated. It's tragic.

They ended up getting pretty big tho!

High Society, What a Drag, Belongings, to name a few, if you like this, you'll fall in love with their other stuff. Holy shit. xD

What Are Some Other Good Bear Hands Songs To Listen To? Lol I'm Obviously New

i like dis

I wish the song went longer I hate when it finishes D:

I was looking up that scene from the Fairly Odd Parents cartoon where Timmy's Dad has "Bear Hands" little did I know I ran into one of the greatest bands of all time.

Thank God for Skins.

im just now hearing about them.. and now im like look what i've been missing out on haa'

Word ! They chose a great record for their promotion ! Love their clothes

jive how I go to share this video on facebook just now, but now when everyone goes to watch it they have to look at a giant internet explorer banner all over it- covering 3 quarters of the screen. bull shit. thats not what sharing is about.

Circa Survive brought me hear :b

when they become real big watch all the late come on here talking about oh i have been listening to them forever smh liers

Great song. Great video concept

apparently they went to college with MGMT

I'm proud to say I had Bear hands play my very small & short lived event space in Brooklyn a few years ago. I'm glad you guys are still going strong. Williamsburg White Room, RIP.

ahh ive been looking for this song forever and didnt know the title or artist. im so happy i just found it. i love this songggggg!

AWOL brought me here!! :D

Love how theres a jew in the vid

0:41 is WTF moment for me. Was that really necessary for the video??

MOAR! MOAR! I WANT MOAR!

@kids0of9veraddo what does ur sn mean? it looks interesting.

Hung has the best music. :D

@Kthwaits50 skins on mtv?

What's the guy @ 0:14 doing illegal?

Hung brought me here as well.

This was on HBO's Hung tonight. love it!!

Oh my goodness that kiss was intense and amazing!

sad but true

Does anyone know where I've heard this before? Has it been in a movie or commercial or something? Maybe a video game..? It's going to kill me if I don't find out so if someone could help me out it'd be greatly appreciated.

lol what is this shit!

of course the little kid is black, who takes the purse hahhahaha

Love it I mean haha

Lobe it!!

what kind of genre is this music labeled? and what are some other artist u guys recommend?

@copper407447 your either trolling really smartly or just plain borderline retarded yourself

best part about this video is the guy in the poncho drinkin a 40 and shooting roman candles. hes not committing crimes, hes just havin a good time

@copper407447 Maybe you should brush up on your history....

@acdcgnr100 hitler was borderline retarded and people only followed him because of his charisma the only reason the nazi party made anything work was because of the generals and people in the actual government hitler was a figure head and not much else

@acdcgnr100 and Hitler also had a huge following back then. Popular isn't always better.

@subpolarity There is a reason AC/DC has sold over a hundred million albums and that Back In Black is the highest selling album by any band of all time. And the 2nd highest selling album of all time, where as these guys sell crap.

@subpolarity hahaha this is a disgace to music, end of story. AC/Dc isnt boring, they have got the most stage presence out of any band ive ever seen,......even now that they are in their 50's and 60's...

I was singing along after 30 seconds. If this ain't the catchiest damn song . . .

The simplicity in it is what makes it a good song. It's got that easy riding beat, yo. You don't have to be playing quick guitar like a metal head to be a good guitarist. You really just need to feel and hear what you're playing in order to understand and respect it. Sometimes its nice just to sit and listen to your guitar or any other instrument resonate. Listening to all the overtones and such... Music is a wonderful part of life.

@acdcgnr100 is that all you know how to say? if you know so much about music you'd give us a Pitchfork-style breakdown of why this isn't good or at least some music theory, not just a feeble THIS AINT GOOD AND I KNOW GOOD. also, now you're saying you're more musically talented? sounds like you need to put your money where your mouth is and prove it.

which you won't do.

also ACDC is boring.

@zombiepartyzooxp Actually no, this doesn't take skill. This is a disgrace to music.

@cooIbeans Becase this simpily isn't good music. It's more of a disgrace to good music. That's why.

@subpolarity How is my age rellevant? At least I know good music. This is a disgrace to music, I am more musically talented than this whole boy band put together.

also I can't wait till this song is remixed

@acdcgnr100 lol you're 15 shut the fuck up.

nice song

very nice......very
lov it lov it

very nice......very

hey if you disliked this video can you explain to me why? i don't understand how someone who enjoys good music can dislike this..

Everybody knows that crime pays, and everybody does it. Everybody knows that crime pays, and everybody loves it, everybody loves it.

skins :)

@zombiepartyzooxp Hahahaha!

@zombiepartyzooxp hahaha!

Fuck Hipsters !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

some1 should make a dubstep version of this
ps. vevo i fucking hate u

@azamystic they have done it to a lot of our music

1:07- Mike Tyson cameo.. thumbs up!

@zombiepartyzooxp No i dont like it because it is TERRIBLE sounding. Not because i dont get it. It also takes NO skill to create. And i listen to Rock and Blues. You fail

@morgankuehn Music takes actual talent to make. This doesnt.

2:24 - Niko my cousin lets go bowling

@helenatorr What other choice do you have? Goth metal and punk emo?

I don't know what's worse... hipster music or mainstream music.

Bear Hands is a cool name :)

nice joint, slightly freekin roxxxx------ It could use some remixx tweeks where it winds up n jams for a few minutes. When u xpect it n it doesnt happen you think they fell short a little trying 2 b safe. Iz rock safe?

gay robot

Why can't anyone just enjoy the song and stop bitching?
That'd be nice :)

Minus all these people fighting I like this song :)

@BoomBoomAudioDance No, of course there is such a thing as indie music. I just hate it when idiots like you try to brandish themselves as "indie". I don't care if you listen to indie music or not. Just shut up. You make yourself sound like you're trying to justify to yourself that by listening to indie music that you're better than everybody.

@BoomBoomAudioDance YOu know what? Put it back up. Go for it.

@BoomBoomAudioDance Shut up.

SCREW THE HIPSTERS. I LOVE THIS SONG!

is it bad that i finaly relized that there was music playing 2 min. into the video?

Sorry bro u obviously don't listen to much rap if u don't know much how can u do much u defend wiz u already lost .... burn one and throw on dat big krit hometown hero... peace love and music
