[00:13.02] He was a-

[00:14.37] Ya know it

[00:17.02] He was a-

[00:21.01] I was walking down the street

[00:22.61] When out the corner of my eye

[00:23.95] I saw a pretty little thing approaching me

[00:26.89] She said, I've never seen a man

[00:28.49] Who looks so all alone

[00:30.08] Uh, could you use a little company?

[00:32.47] If you pay the right price

[00:34.35] Your evening will be nice

[00:35.68] And you can go and send me on my way

[00:38.63] I said, "You're such a sweet young thing

[00:40.75] Why'd you do this to yourself?"

[00:42.08] She looked at me and this is what she said

[00:44.74] "Oh, there ain't no rest for the wicked

[00:48.19] Money don't grow on trees

[00:50.60] I got bills to pay

[00:52.46] I got mouths to feed

[00:54.05] There ain't nothing in this world for free

[00:56.45] I know I can't slow down

[00:58.61] I can't hold back

[00:59.96] Though you know

[01:01.02] I wish I could

[01:02.92] Oh, no there ain't no rest for the wicked

[01:05.88] Until we close our eyes for good"

[01:09.12] Not even 15 minutes later

[01:10.45] I'm still walking down the street

[01:11.77] When I saw the shadow of a man creep out of sight

[01:14.98] And then he swept up from behind

[01:16.30] He put a gun up to my head

[01:17.63] He made it clear he wasn't looking for a fight

[01:20.28] He said, "Give me all you've got

[01:22.14] I want your money not your life

[01:23.74] But if you try to make a move, I won't think twice"

[01:26.94] I told him, "You can have my cash

[01:28.29] But first you know I got to ask

[01:29.62] What made you want to live this kind of life?"

[01:32.53] He said, "There ain't no rest for the wicked

[01:35.75] Money don't grow on trees

[01:38.70] I got bills to pay

[01:40.02] I got mouths to feed

[01:41.88] There ain't nothing in this world for free

[01:44.54] I know I can't slow down

[01:46.40] I can't hold back

[01:47.72] Though you know, I wish I could

[01:50.67] Oh no there ain't no rest for the wicked

[01:53.86] Until we close our eyes for good"

[01:57.31] Yeah

[01:58.91] You know it

[02:00.23] He was a-

[02:02.92] You know it

[02:06.13] He was a-

[02:08.53] Well, now a couple hours passed

[02:10.40] And I was sitting at my house

[02:12.00] The day was winding down and coming to an end

[02:15.20] And so I turned on the TV

[02:16.54] And flipped it over to the news

[02:17.88] And what I saw I almost couldn't comprehend

[02:20.80] I saw a preacher man in cuffs

[02:22.40] He'd taken money from the church

[02:23.72] He'd stuffed his bank account with righteous dollar bills

[02:26.91] But even still I can't say much

[02:28.23] Because I know we're all the same

[02:29.83] Oh yes, we all seek out to satisfy those thrills

[02:33.02] You know there ain't no rest for the wicked

[02:36.22] Money don't grow on trees

[02:38.90] We got bills to pay

[02:40.48] We got mouths to feed

[02:42.08] There ain't nothing in this world for free

[02:44.73] I know we can't slow down

[02:46.60] We can't hold back, though you know, we wish we could

[02:50.60] Oh no, there ain't no rest for the wicked

[02:53.79] Until we close our eyes for good
