| [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 |
