crimes never go away

The crimes that we hear

Through the victims of crimes

Through the police report

Through the newspapers

Sometimes we read it on line

Crimes never go away

The tolls on the innocent

The police have to do a better job

One operation after another

The criminals go out to challenge

“Catch me if you can!”

The layers of crime

The hardcore, the softcore

and the gentlemen

The way they hide

sometimes police can't find

The crimes that we hear

There is a victim in the neighbourhood

The police will read the statistics

And the criminals will play the game
