LYRICS:

Ain't No Rest for the Wicked

Caged the Elephant

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

Could you use a little company?

If you pay the right price, your evening will be nice

Or you can go and send me on my way

I said your such a sweet young thing

Why'd you do this to yourself?

She looked at me and this is what she 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

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

No there ain't no rest for the wicked

Until we close our eyes for good

Not even fifteen minutes later, after walking down the street

When I saw the shadow of a man creep out of sight

And then he swept up behind, 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 wont 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 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

Now a couple hours past, 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 I almost 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 cause I know were 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

We got bills to pay we got mouths to feed ain't nothing in this world for free

We can't slow down, we can't hold back though you know we wish we could

You know there ain't no rest for the wicked, until we close our eyes for good
