Letra / Lyrics
AIN'T NO REST FOR THE WICKED - CAGE THE ELEPHANT

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 AND COULD YOU USE
A LITTLE COMPANY
AND IF YOU 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
AFTER WALKING DOWN THE
STREET WHEN I SAW THE
SHADOW OF A MAN
CREEP OUT OF SIGHT
AND THEN HE SWEPT UP
FROM BEHIND AND 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
A-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
AND NOW A COUPLE HOURS
PASS 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
I GOT BILLS TO PAY
I GOT MOUTHS TO FEED
THERE AIN'T NOTHING IN
THE WORLD FOR FREE
I KNOW I CAN'T SLOW DOWN
I CAN'T HOLD BACK THOUGH
YOU KNOW I WISH I COULD
YOU KNOW THERE AIN'T NO
REST FOR THE WICKED
UNTIL WE CLOSE OUR
EYES FOR GOOD
