I was walking down the

street when out the

cornerof my eye,

I saw a prettylittle thing

approaching me

She said I never seen a

man who looks so all

alone and could you use

a little company?

And if you pay the right

price your evening will

be nice or you can go

and send me on my way

I said you're such a sweet

young thing, why'd 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

I know I can't slow down

I can't hold back though,

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

after walking down the

street, when I saw the

shadow of a man

creep out of sight

And then he swept up

from behind, and put a

gun up to my head, he

made it clear he wasn't

looking for a fight

He said give me all

you've got, I want your

money not your life,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've 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

a-ain't nothing in this

world for free

I know I can't slow down

I can't hold back, though

you know I wish I could

Oh no there ain't no

rest for the wicked

until we close our

eyes for good

And now a couple hours

pass, 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

Ialmost couldn't

comprehend

I saw a preacher man in

cuffs, taking money from

the church, he 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

I got bills to pay

I got mouths to feed

thereain't nothing in

theworld for free

I know I can't slow down

I can't hold back, though

you know I wish I could

You know there ain't no

rest for the wicked

until we close our

eyes for good
