| [00:11.860] |
I was walking down the street, |
| [00:13.560] |
When out the corner of my eye |
| [00:15.150] |
I saw a pretty little thing approaching me. |
| [00:17.980] |
She said "I've never seen a man |
| [00:19.740] |
Who looks so all alone, |
| [00:21.260] |
Could you use a little company? |
| [00:23.910] |
|
| [00:24.150] |
If you can pay the right price |
| [00:26.700] |
Your evening will be nice, |
| [00:27.400] |
And you can go and send me on my way." |
| [00:30.270] |
I said "You're such a sweet young thing |
| [00:32.299] |
Why you do this to yourself?" |
| [00:33.650] |
She looked at me and this is what she said: |
| [00:36.570] |
|
| [00:36.830] |
"Oh, there ain't no rest for the wicked, |
| [00:39.710] |
Money don't grow on trees. |
| [00:42.710] |
I got bills to pay, |
| [00:44.230] |
I got mouths to feed, |
| [00:46.270] |
There ain't nothing in this world for free. |
| [00:49.340] |
I know I can't slow down, |
| [00:51.750] |
I can't hold back, |
| [00:54.100] |
Though you know, I wish I could. |
| [00:56.140] |
No there ain't no rest for the wicked, |
| [00:59.180] |
Until we close our eyes for good". |
| [01:02.460] |
Not even fifteen minutes later |
| [01:02.500] |
|
| [01:03.970] |
I'm still walking down the street, |
| [01:05.460] |
When I saw a shadow of a man creep out of sight. |
| [01:08.470] |
And then he sweeps up from behind |
| [01:10.000] |
And puts a gun up to my head, |
| [01:11.660] |
He made it clear he wasn't looking for a fight. |
| [01:14.440] |
|
| [01:15.540] |
He said "Give me all you've got |
| [01:17.300] |
I want your money not your life, |
| [01:18.700] |
But if you try to make a move I won't think twice." |
| [01:21.620] |
I go like "You can have my cash |
| [01:23.210] |
But first you know I got to ask |
| [01:24.870] |
What made you want to live this kind of life?" |
| [01:27.550] |
|
| [01:27.740] |
He said "There ain't no rest for the wicked, |
| [01:31.070] |
Money don't grow on trees. |
| [01:35.000] |
I got bills to pay, |
| [01:35.609] |
I got mouths to feed, |
| [01:37.000] |
There ain't nothing in this world for free. |
| [01:41.000] |
I know I can't slow down, |
| [01:41.800] |
I can't hold back, |
| [01:43.350] |
Though you know, I wish I could. |
| [01:46.270] |
No there ain't no rest for the wicked, |
| [01:49.329] |
Until we close our eyes for good". |
| [01:52.600] |
|
| [02:05.500] |
Now a couple hours have passed |
| [02:06.560] |
And I was sitting at my house, |
| [02:07.870] |
The day was winding down and coming to an end. |
| [02:10.859] |
So I turned on the TV |
| [02:12.388] |
And flipped it over to the news, |
| [02:13.960] |
And what I saw I almost couldn't comprehend. |
| [02:16.890] |
|
| [02:17.060] |
I saw a preacher man in cuffs he'd taken money from the church, |
| [02:20.090] |
He stuffed his bank account with righteous dollar bills. |
| [02:23.200] |
But even still I can't say much |
| [02:24.840] |
Because I know we're all the same, |
| [02:26.410] |
oh yes we all seek out to satisfy those thrills |
| [02:29.230] |
|
| [02:29.420] |
"Oh, there ain't no rest for the wicked, |
| [02:32.510] |
Money don't grow on trees. |
| [02:35.420] |
We got bills to pay, |
| [02:37.200] |
We got mouths to feed, |
| [02:38.540] |
There ain't nothing in this world for free. |
| [02:41.640] |
I know we can't slow down, |
| [02:43.390] |
We can't hold back, |
| [02:44.820] |
Though you know, we wish we could. |
| [02:47.910] |
No there ain't no rest for the wicked, |
| [02:50.870] |
Until we close our eyes for good" |
