I was walking down the street When out the corner of my eye I saw a pretty little thing approaching me
She said I never seen a man Who looks so all alone Could you use a little company
If you could pay the right price Your evening will be nice Or you can go and send me on my way
I said you're such a sweet young thing Why'd you do this to yourself She looked at me and this is what she said
Oh there ain't no rest for the wicked
Money don't grow on trees
I got bills to pay I got mouths to feed There ain't nothing in this world for free
I know I can't slow down I can't hold back
Though you know I wish I could
Oh no there ain't no rest for the wicked
Until we close our eyes for good
Not even 15 minutes later I'm still walking down the street
When I saw the shadow of a man creep out of sight And then he swept up from behind Put a gun up to my head He made it clear he wasn't looking for a fight
He said give me all you've got I want your money not your life If you try to make a move I won't think twice
I told him you can have my cash But first you know I've got to ask
What made you want to live this kind of life
He said there ain't no rest for the wicked Money don't grow on trees I got bills to pay I got mouths to feed Ain't nothing in this world for free
I know I can't slow down I can't hold back
Though you know I wish I could
Oh no there ain't no rest for the wicked
Until we close our eyes for good
Now a couple hours past And I was sitting in my house The day was winding down and coming to an end
So I turned on the TV And flipped it over to the news And what I saw I almost couldn't comprehend
I saw a preacher man in cuffs Taking money from the church He stuffed his bank account with righteous dollar bills
But even still I can't say much Because I know we're all the same Oh yes we all seek out to satisfy those thrills
You know there ain't no rest for the wicked
Money don't grow on trees
We got bills to pay We got mouths to feed Ain't nothing in this world for free Oh no We can't slow down We can't hold back Though you know we wish we could You know there ain't no rest for the wicked
Until we close our eyes for good
