Aint no rest for the wicked I was walkin down the street, when out the corner of my eye I saw a pretty little thing approachin me She said Ive never seen a man Who looks so all alone, could you use a little company? If you pay the right price your evenin will be nice Or 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 nothin in this world for free I know 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 fifteen minutes later after 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 wasnt lookin for a fight He said give me all youve got, I want your money not your life 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 wanna 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 nothin in this world for free I know 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 passed and I was sittin at my house The day was windin down and comin 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 He stuffed his bank account with righteous dollar bills But even still I cant say much because I know were all the same Oh yes, weve all seek out to satisfy those thrills You know there aint no rest for the wicked Money dont grow on trees We got bills to pay, we got mouths to feed There aint nothin in this world for free I know we cant slow down, we cant hold back Though you know we wish we could No there aint no rest for the wicked Until we close our eyes for good Cage The Elephant
