Ain't No Rest for the Wicked (Unpeeled)
I was walking 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 looks so all alone
And could you use a little company
If you can pay the right price your evening will be nice
But you can go and send me on my way
I said
Youre such a sweet young thing why you do this to yourself
She looked at me and this is what she said
Oh there aint no rest for the wicked
Money dont grow on trees
I got bills to pay I got mouths to feed
There aint nothing in this world for free
Oh no I cant slow down I cant hold back
Though you know I wish I could
Oh no there aint 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 out of sight
And then he swept up from behind he put a gun up to my head
He made it clear he wasnt looking for a fight
He said
Give me all youve got I want your money not your life
But if you try to make a move I wont 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 aint no rest for the wicked
Money dont grow on trees
I got bills to pay I got mouths to feed
There aint nothing in this world for free
Oh no I cant slow down I cant hold back
Though you know I wish I could
Oh no there aint 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
And so I turned on the TV and flipped it over to the news
And what I saw I almost couldnt comprehend
I saw a preacher man in cuffs hed taken money from the church
Hed stuffed his bank account with righteous dollar bills
But even still I cant say much because I know were all the same
Oh yes we all seek out to satisfy those thrills
You know there aint no rest for the wicked
Money dont grow on trees
I got bills to pay I got mouths to feed
There aint nothing in this world for free
Oh no we cant slow down we cant hold back
Though you know I wish I could
Oh no there aint no rest for the wicked
Until we close our eyes for good
