Been Caught Stealing Video (MV)




"Been Caught Stealing" is a song by American rock band Jane's Addiction, released in November 1990 by Warner Bros. as the third single from the band's second album, Ritual de lo Habitual (1990). The song is also the band's biggest hit, spending four weeks at No. 1 on the US Billboard Modern Rock chart. Different versions appear on the compilations Kettle Whistle, Up from the Catacombs - The Best of Jane's Addiction and Rev.

The tune later appeared in the 2004 video game Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas on the fictional in-game radio station "Radio X".

Among its highlights are what Rolling Stone dubbed "the best use of dog barks since Pet Sounds". "That was Annie", recalled singer Perry Farrell. "I'd got her from a dog shelter and she was quite needy, so I brought her down to the studio that day rather than leave her at home... I'm singing in the booth with the headphones on and Annie gets all excited and starts going, 'Ruff! Ruff! Ruff!'... The fact that she ended up on the track was just pure coincidence."

Jane's Addiction - Been Caught Stealing Lyrics




I've been caught stealing;
once when I was 5...
I enjoy stealing.
It's just as simple as that.
Well, it's just a simple fact.
When I want something,
I don't want to pay for it.

I walk right through the door.
Walk right through the door.
Hey all right! If I get by, it's mine.
Mine all mine!

My girl, she's one too.
She'll go and get her a shirt.
Stick it under her skirt.
She grabbed a razor for me.
And she did it just like that.
When she wants something,
She don't want to pay for it.

She walk right through the door.
Walk right through the door.
Hey all right! If I get by, it's mine.
Mine all mine!

We sat around the pile.
We sat and laughed.
We sat and laughed and
Waved it into the air!
And we did it just like that.
When we want something,
We don't want to pay for it.

We walk right through the door.
Walk right through the door.
Hey, all right! If I get by, it's mine,
Mine, mine, mine, mine, mine, mine...
