[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,
[02:50.870]Until we close our eyes for good＂
