|
[00:19.10] |
I was walking down the street |
[00:20.15] |
When out the corner of my eye |
[00:21.96] |
I saw a pretty little thing approaching me |
[00:23.51] |
|
[00:24.64] |
She said I never seen a man |
[00:25.89] |
Who looks so all alone |
[00:27.14] |
Could you use a little company |
[00:29.20] |
|
[00:30.88] |
If you could pay the right price |
[00:32.56] |
Your evening will be nice |
[00:33.87] |
Or you can go and send me on my way |
[00:35.68] |
|
[00:36.50] |
I said you're such a sweet young thing |
[00:37.99] |
Why'd you do this to yourself |
[00:39.88] |
She looked at me and this is what she said |
[00:41.81] |
|
[00:42.62] |
Oh there ain't no rest for the wicked |
[00:44.50] |
|
[00:45.68] |
Money don't grow on trees |
[00:46.99] |
|
[00:48.43] |
I got bills to pay |
[00:49.74] |
I got mouths to feed |
[00:51.73] |
There ain't nothing in this world for free |
[00:53.17] |
|
[00:54.29] |
I know I can't slow down |
[00:55.79] |
I can't hold back |
[00:56.79] |
|
[00:57.54] |
Though you know I wish I could |
[00:59.10] |
|
[01:00.35] |
Oh no there ain't no rest for the wicked |
[01:02.42] |
|
[01:03.54] |
Until we close our eyes for good |
[01:05.10] |
|
[01:06.35] |
Not even 15 minutes later |
[01:07.78] |
I'm still walking down the street |
[01:08.91] |
|
[01:09.47] |
When I saw the shadow of a man creep out of sight |
[01:12.22] |
And then he swept up from behind |
[01:13.53] |
Put a gun up to my head |
[01:15.40] |
He made it clear he wasn't looking for a fight |
[01:17.33] |
|
[01:18.21] |
He said give me all you've got |
[01:19.58] |
I want your money not your life |
[01:21.33] |
If you try to make a move I won't think twice |
[01:23.51] |
|
[01:24.14] |
I told him you can have my cash |
[01:25.70] |
But first you know I've got to ask |
[01:26.71] |
|
[01:30.83] |
What made you want to live this kind of life |
[01:33.28] |
|
[01:34.22] |
He said there ain't no rest for the wicked |
[01:35.46] |
Money don't grow on trees |
[01:36.52] |
I got bills to pay |
[01:37.40] |
I got mouths to feed |
[01:38.40] |
Ain't nothing in this world for free |
[01:41.20] |
|
[01:42.14] |
I know I can't slow down |
[01:43.70] |
I can't hold back |
[01:44.76] |
|
[01:45.57] |
Though you know I wish I could |
[01:47.32] |
|
[01:48.51] |
Oh no there ain't no rest for the wicked |
[01:50.30] |
|
[01:51.67] |
Until we close our eyes for good |
[01:53.30] |
|
[02:06.66] |
Now a couple hours past |
[02:07.84] |
And I was sitting in my house |
[02:09.58] |
The day was winding down and coming to an end |
[02:11.66] |
|
[02:12.47] |
So I turned on the TV |
[02:13.66] |
And flipped it over to the news |
[02:14.97] |
And what I saw I almost couldn't comprehend |
[02:16.21] |
|
[02:18.78] |
I saw a preacher man in cuffs |
[02:20.28] |
Taking money from the church |
[02:21.22] |
He stuffed his bank account with righteous dollar bills |
[02:22.26] |
|
[02:24.25] |
But even still I can't say much |
[02:25.56] |
Because I know we're all the same |
[02:27.19] |
Oh yes we all seek out to satisfy those thrills |
[02:28.27] |
|
[02:30.39] |
You know there ain't no rest for the wicked |
[02:32.41] |
|
[02:33.60] |
Money don't grow on trees |
[02:34.90] |
|
[02:36.28] |
We got bills to pay |
[02:37.52] |
We got mouths to feed |
[02:39.02] |
Ain't nothing in this world for free |
[02:41.71] |
Oh no |
[02:42.83] |
We can't slow down |
[02:43.58] |
We can't hold back |
[02:44.64] |
Though you know we wish we could |
[02:46.45] |
You know there ain't no rest for the wicked |
[02:50.93] |
|
[02:51.49] |
Until we close our eyes for good |
