Ain't no rest for the wicked

[00:12.50] I was walking down the street when out the corner of my eye

[00:15.24] I saw a pretty little thing approaching me

[00:18.20] She said, "I never seen a man, who looks so all alone

[00:21.24] Oh, could you use a little company?

[00:24.45] If you pay the right price, your evening will be nice

[00:27.49] And you can go and send me on my way."

[00:30.72] I said, "You're such a sweet young thing, why you do this to yourself?"

[00:33.47] She looked at me and this is what she said:

[00:35.74] "Oh there ain't no rest for the wicked

[00:39.97] Money don't grow on trees

[00:42.95] I got bills to pay, I got mouths to feed

[00:45.73] There ain't nothing in this world for free

[00:48.72] Oh no, I can't slow down, I can't hold back

[00:51.71] Though you know, I wish I could

[00:54.71] Oh no there ain't no rest for the wicked

[00:57.98] Until we close our eyes for good"

[01:02.26] Not even 15 minutes later I'm still walking down the street

[01:04.52] When I saw the shadow of a man creep out out of sight

[01:07.05] And then he swept up from behind, he put a gun up to my head

[01:10.28] He made it clear he wasn't looking for a fight

[01:13.28] He said, "Give me all you've got, I want your money, not your life

[01:16.53] But if you try to make a move I won't think twice."

[01:19.78] I told him, "You can have my cash, but first you know I gotta ask:

[01:23.53] What made you want to live this kind of life?"

[01:26.28] He said:

[01:26.78] "There ain't no rest for the wicked

[01:29.01] Money don't grow on trees

[01:31.79] I got bills to pay, I got mouths to feed

[01:35.03] There ain't nothing in this world for free

[01:38.25] Oh no, I can't slow down, I can't hold back

[01:41.05] Though you know, I wish I could

[01:44.51] Oh no there ain't no rest for the wicked

[01:47.28] Until we close our eyes for good"

[02:03.23] Well now a couple hours past and I was sitting in my house

[02:05.96] The day was winding down and coming to an end

[02:08.73] And so I turned on the TV and flipped it over to the news

[02:11.72] And what I saw I almost couldn't comprehend

[02:15.21] I saw a preacher man in cuffs, he'd taken money from the church

[02:18.23] He'd stuffed his bank account with righteous dollar bills

[02:21.46] But even still I can't say much because I know we're all the same

[02:24.21] Oh yes, we all seek out to satisfy those thrills

[02:27.94] You know there ain't no rest for the wicked

[02:30.47] Money don't grow on trees

[02:33.71] We got bills to pay, we got mouths to feed

[02:36.46] There ain't nothing in this world for free

[02:39.46] Oh no we can't slow down, we can't hold back

[02:42.21] Though you know we wish we could

[02:46.23] Oh no there ain't no rest for the wicked

[02:49.21] Until we close our eyes for good
