[al:Ain't No Rest For The Wicked] |
| [00:12.10] |
I was walking down the street when out the corner of my eye |
| [00:15.27] |
I saw a pretty little thing approaching me |
| [00:18.07] |
She said i never seen a man who looks so all alone |
| [00:21.40] |
Could you use a little company |
| [00:24.16] |
If you pay the right price |
| [00:26.23] |
Your evening will be nice |
| [00:27.48] |
Or you can go and send me on my way |
| [00:30.41] |
I said your such a sweet young thing |
| [00:32.21] |
Why'd you do this to yourself |
| [00:33.77] |
She looked at me and this is what she said |
| [00:36.74] |
There ain't no rest for the wicked |
| [00:39.91] |
Money don't grow on trees |
| [00:42.73] |
I got bills to pay |
| [00:44.10] |
I got mouths to feed |
| [00:45.63] |
There ain't nothing in this world for free |
| [00:48.69] |
I know i can't slow down |
| [00:50.65] |
I can't hold back though you know i wish i could |
| [00:54.79] |
Oh no there ain't no rest for the wicked |
| [00:57.94] |
Until we close our eyes for good |
| [01:01.02] |
Not even 15 minutes later after walking down the street |
| [01:04.19] |
When i saw the shadow of a man creep out of sight |
| [01:07.06] |
And then he swept up from behind |
| [01:08.72] |
Put a gun up to my head |
| [01:10.22] |
He made it clear he wasn't looking for a fight |
| [01:13.16] |
He said give me all you've got |
| [01:15.04] |
I want your money not your life |
| [01:16.44] |
But if you try to make a move i won't think twice |
| [01:19.31] |
I told him you can have my cash |
| [01:20.92] |
But first you know i've got to ask |
| [01:22.38] |
What made you want to live this kind of life |
| [01:25.40] |
He said |
| [01:25.96] |
There ain't no rest for the wicked |
| [01:28.77] |
Money don't grow on trees |
| [01:31.54] |
I got bills to pay |
| [01:33.15] |
I got mouths to feed |
| [01:34.66] |
There ain't nothing in this world for free |
| [01:37.57] |
I know i can't slow down |
| [01:40.00] |
I can't hold back though you know i wish i could |
| [01:44.17] |
Oh no there ain't no rest for the wicked |
| [01:47.34] |
Until we close our eyes for good |
| [01:50.18] |
|
| [02:02.86] |
And now a couple hours past |
| [02:04.26] |
And i was sitting in my house |
| [02:05.64] |
The day was winding down and coming to an end |
| [02:08.76] |
So i turned on the TV |
| [02:10.42] |
And flipped it over to the news |
| [02:11.83] |
And what i saw i almost couldn't comprehend |
| [02:14.89] |
I saw a preacher man in cuffs taking money from the church |
| [02:17.90] |
He stuffed his bank account with righteous dollar bills |
| [02:21.01] |
But even still i can't say much cause i know were all the same |
| [02:24.03] |
Oh yes we all seek out to satisfy those thrills |
| [02:27.10] |
You know there ain't no rest for the wicked |
| [02:30.39] |
Money don't grow on trees |
| [02:33.26] |
We got bills to pay |
| [02:34.76] |
We got mouths to feed |
| [02:36.26] |
There ain't nothing in this world for free |
| [02:39.38] |
I know we can't slow down |
| [02:41.28] |
We can't hold back though you know we wish we could |
| [02:45.47] |
Oh no there ain't no rest for the wicked |
| [02:48.59] |
Until we close our eyes for good. |
