[00:11.860]	I was walking down the street,
[00:13.560]	When out the corner of my eye
[00:15.150]	I saw a pretty little thing approaching me.
[00:17.980]	She said ＂I＇ve never seen a man
[00:19.740]	Who looks so all alone,
[00:21.260]	Could you use a little company?
[00:23.910]
[00:24.150]	If you can pay the right price
[00:26.700]	Your evening will be nice,
[00:27.400]	And you can go and send me on my way.＂
[00:30.270]	I said ＂You＇re such a sweet young thing
[00:32.299]	Why you do this to yourself?＂
[00:33.650]	She looked at me and this is what she said:
[00:36.570]
[00:36.830]	＂Oh, there ain＇t no rest for the wicked,
[00:39.710]	Money don＇t grow on trees.
[00:42.710]	I got bills to pay,
[00:44.230]	I got mouths to feed,
[00:46.270]	There ain＇t nothing in this world for free.
[00:49.340]	I know I can＇t slow down,
[00:51.750]	I can＇t hold back,
[00:54.100]	Though you know, I wish I could.
[00:56.140]	No there ain＇t no rest for the wicked,
[00:59.180]	Until we close our eyes for good＂.
[01:02.460]	Not even fifteen minutes later
[01:02.500]
[01:03.970]	I＇m still walking down the street,
[01:05.460]	When I saw a shadow of a man creep out of sight.
[01:08.470]	And then he sweeps up from behind
[01:10.000]	And puts a gun up to my head,
[01:11.660]	He made it clear he wasn＇t looking for a fight.
[01:14.440]
[01:15.540]	He said ＂Give me all you＇ve got
[01:17.300]	I want your money not your life,
[01:18.700]	But if you try to make a move I won＇t think twice.＂
[01:21.620]	I go like ＂You can have my cash
[01:23.210]	But first you know I got to ask
[01:24.870]	What made you want to live this kind of life?＂
[01:27.550]
[01:27.740]	He said ＂There ain＇t no rest for the wicked,
[01:31.070]	Money don＇t grow on trees.
[01:35.000]	I got bills to pay,
[01:35.609]	I got mouths to feed,
[01:37.000]	There ain＇t nothing in this world for free.
[01:41.000]	I know I can＇t slow down,
[01:41.800]	I can＇t hold back,
[01:43.350]	Though you know, I wish I could.
[01:46.270]	No there ain＇t no rest for the wicked,
[01:49.329]	Until we close our eyes for good＂.
[01:52.600]
[02:05.500]	Now a couple hours have passed
[02:06.560]	And I was sitting at my house,
[02:07.870]	The day was winding down and coming to an end.
[02:10.859]	So I turned on the TV
[02:12.388]	And flipped it over to the news,
[02:13.960]	And what I saw I almost couldn＇t comprehend.
[02:16.890]
[02:17.060]	I saw a preacher man in cuffs he＇d taken money from the church,
[02:20.090]	He stuffed his bank account with righteous dollar bills.
[02:23.200]	But even still I can＇t say much
[02:24.840]	Because I know we＇re all the same,
[02:26.410]	oh yes we all seek out to satisfy those thrills
[02:29.230]
[02:29.420]	＂Oh, there ain＇t no rest for the wicked,
[02:32.510]	Money don＇t grow on trees.
[02:35.420]	We got bills to pay,
[02:37.200]	We got mouths to feed,
[02:38.540]	There ain＇t nothing in this world for free.
[02:41.640]	I know we can＇t slow down,
[02:43.390]	We can＇t hold back,
[02:44.820]	Though you know, we wish we could.
[02:47.910]	No there ain＇t no rest for the wicked,
