Ain't No Rest for the Wicked

Well, i was walking down the street When out the corner of my eye I saw a pretty little thing approaching me She said "I've never seen a man, who looks so all alone Oh could you use a little company And if you pay the right price Your evening will be nice And you could go and send me on my way" I said, "you're such a sweet young thing Why would you do this to yourself?" She looked at me and this is what she said "Oh there ain't no rest for the wicked Money don't grow on trees I got bills to pay I got mouths to feed There ain't nothing in this world for free And no i can't slow down And i can't hold back Oh, you know i wish i could Oh, no there ain't no rest for the wicked Until we close our eyes for good" Not even 15 minutes later I was walking down the street When i saw the shadow of a man creep out of sight And then he swept up from behind He put a gun up to my head He made it clear he wasn't looking for a fight He said, "Give me all you got I want your money not your life And if you try to make a move i won't think twice" I said, "You could have my cash But first i got to ask What made you want to live this kind of life?" He said, "There ain't no rest for the wicked Money don't grow on trees I got bills to pay I got mouths to feed There ain't nothing in this world for free And no i can't slow down And i can't hold back Oh, you know i wish i could Oh, no there ain't no rest for the wicked Until we close our eyes for good" Well, now a couple hours passed And i was sitting in my house The day was winding down and coming to an end And so i turned on the TV And flipped it over to the news And what i saw i almost couldn't comprehend I saw a preacher man in cuffs He'd taken money from the church He stuffed his bank account righteous dollar bills But even still even i can't say much Because i know we are all the same Oh, yes we all seek out to satisfy those thrills Oh, no there ain't no rest for the wicked Money don't grow on trees I got bills to pay I got mouths to feed There ain't nothing in this world for free Oh, no i can't slow down And i can't pull back Oh, you know i wish i could Oh, no there ain't no rest for the wicked Until we close our eyes for good
