[ar:Cage The Elephant] |
| [00:12.01] |
i was walking down the street, |
| [00:13.63] |
When out the corner of my eye |
| [00:15.57] |
I saw a pretty little thing approaching me. |
| [00:17.95] |
She said "I've never seen a man |
| [00:19.76] |
Who looks so all alone, |
| [00:20.85] |
Could you use a little company? |
| [00:23.68] |
If you can pay the right price |
| [00:25.56] |
Your evening will be nice, |
| [00:27.06] |
And you can go and send me on my way." |
| [00:29.93] |
I said "You're such a sweet young thing |
| [00:32.00] |
Why you do this to yourself?" |
| [00:33.56] |
She looked at me and this is what she said: |
| [00:37.31] |
"Oh,there ain't no rest for the wicked, |
| [00:40.47] |
Money don't grow on trees. |
| [00:42.28] |
I got bills to pay, |
| [00:43.78] |
I got mouths to feed, |
| [00:45.22] |
There ain't nothing in this world for free. |
| [00:47.84] |
I know I can't slow down, |
| [00:49.59] |
I can't hold back, |
| [00:51.78] |
Though you know,I wish I could. |
| [00:54.59] |
No there ain't no rest for the wicked, |
| [00:57.65] |
Until we close our eyes for good". |
| [01:00.78] |
Not even fifteen minutes later |
| [01:02.47] |
I'm still walking down the street, |
| [01:04.09] |
When I saw a shadow of a man creep out of sight. |
| [01:07.53] |
And then he sweeps up from behind |
| [01:09.22] |
And puts a gun up to my head, |
| [01:10.65] |
He made it clear he wasn't looking for a fight. |
| [01:12.91] |
He said "Give me all you've got |
| [01:14.65] |
I want your money not your life, |
| [01:16.15] |
But if you try to make a move I won't think twice." |
| [01:19.03] |
I go like "You can have my cash |
| [01:20.96] |
But first you know I got to ask |
| [01:23.28] |
What made you want to live this kind of life?" |
| [01:25.65] |
He said "There ain't no rest for the wicked, |
| [01:29.03] |
Money don't grow on trees. |
| [01:30.84] |
I got bills to pay, |
| [01:32.53] |
I got mouths to feed, |
| [01:34.53] |
There ain't nothing in this world for free. |
| [01:37.28] |
I know I can't slow down, |
| [01:39.09] |
I can't hold back, |
| [01:40.65] |
Though you know,I wish I could. |
| [01:43.65] |
No there ain't no rest for the wicked, |
| [01:46.72] |
Until we close our eyes for good". |
| [02:02.73] |
Now a couple hours have passed |
| [02:04.47] |
And I was sitting at my house, |
| [02:05.27] |
The day was winding down and coming to an end. |
| [02:08.01] |
So I turned on the TV |
| [02:09.95] |
And flipped it over to the news, |
| [02:11.58] |
And what I saw I almost couldn't comprehend. |
| [02:13.01] |
I saw a preacher man in cuffs he'd taken money from the church, |
| [02:16.76] |
He stuffed his bank account with righteous dollar bills. |
| [02:20.61] |
But even still I can't say much |
| [02:22.36] |
Because I know we're all the same, |
| [02:24.05] |
oh yes we all seek out to satisfy those thrills |
| [02:27.01] |
"Oh,there ain't no rest for the wicked, |
| [02:30.57] |
Money don't grow on trees. |
| [02:32.88] |
We got bills to pay, |
| [02:34.64] |
We got mouths to feed, |
| [02:36.01] |
There ain't nothing in this world for free. |
| [02:38.95] |
I know we can't slow down, |
| [02:40.95] |
We can't hold back, |
| [02:42.57] |
Though you know,we wish we could. |
| [02:45.26] |
No there ain't no rest for the wicked, |
| [02:47.95] |
Until we close our eyes for good" |
