I was walkin' down the street
|
When out the corner of my eye
|
I saw a pretty little thing approaching me
|
|
She said I never seen a man
|
Who looked so all alone
|
Oh could you use a little company
|
|
And if you pay the right price
|
Your evening will be nice
|
You can go and send me on my way
|
|
I said you're such a sweet young thing
|
Why you do this to yourself
|
She looked at me and this is what she 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
|
Ain't nothing in this world for free
|
No I can't slow down
|
I can't hold back
|
Though you know I wish I could
|
No there ain't no rest for the wicked
|
Until we close our eyes for good
|
|
Not even 15 minutes later
|
I'm still walkin' 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 lookin' for a fight
|
|
He said give me all you got
|
I want your money not your life
|
But if you try to make a move I won't think twice
|
|
I told him you can have my cash
|
But first you know I gotta 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
|
Ain't nothing in this world for free
|
No I can't slow down
|
I can't hold back
|
Though you know I wish I could
|
No there ain't no rest for the wicked
|
Until we close our eyes for good
|
|
Well now a couple hours past
|
And I was sitting in my house
|
The day was winding down and coming
|
To an end
|
|
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'd stuffed his bank account with righteous
|
Dollar bills
|
|
But even still I can't say much
|
Because I know we're all the same
|
Oh yes we all seek out to satisfy those thrills
|
|
You know there ain't no rest for the wicked
|
Money don't grow on trees
|
We got bills to pay
|
We got mouths to feed
|
Ain't nothing in this world for free
|
No we can't slow down
|
We can't hold back
|
Though you know we wish we could
|
No there ain't no rest for the wicked
|
Until we close our eyes for good
|
