[Verse 1]
I was walEking down the street,
When out the coGrner of my eye
I saw a prAetty little thing apGproachiDng me.
She said "I've nEever seen a man
Who loGoks so all alone,
Could you usAe a little GcompaDny?
If you pEay the right price
Your evGening will be nice,
And you can Ago and send me on Gmy wayD."
I said "You're suEch a sweet young thing
Why you Gdo this to yourself?"
She loAoked at me and tGhis is what she sDaid,
[Chorus]
"EOh, there ain't no rest for the wiGcked,
MAoney don't grow on tDrees.
I gEot bills to pay,
I got mGouths to feed,
There ain't nAothing in this world for fDree.
I know I Ecan't slow down,
I cGan't hold back,
Though you kAnow, I wish I couDld.
No there aEin't no rest for the wiGcked,
Until weA close our eyes for gEmood".
[Verse 2]
Not even fEifteen minutes later
I'm still walkiGng down the street,
When I sawA a shadow of a man cGreep ouDt of sight.
Then he wEalks up from behind
And puts a gGun up to my head,
He made Ait clear he wasn't loGoking for Da fight.
He said "GEive me all you've got
I want your moGney not your life,
But if you Atry to make a move I won't thGink twiDce."
I said "YEou can have my cash
But first you knGow I got to ask
What made you Awant to live this kind ofG life?D"
[Chorus]
"EOh, there ain't no rest for the wiGcked,
MAoney don't grow on tDrees.
I gEot bills to pay,
I got mGouths to feed,
There ain't nAothing in this world for fDree.
I know I Ecan't slow down,
I cGan't hold back,
Though you kAnow, I wish I couDld.
No there aEin't no rest for the wiGcked,
Until weA close our eyes for gEmood".
[Verse 3]
Now a coEuple hours passed
And I was sitGting at my house,
The day was windiAng down and comGing to an eDnd.
So I tuErned on the TV
And flipped it oGver to the news,
And what IA saw I almost coGuldn't compDrehend.
I saw a pEreacher man in cuffs he'd taken mGoney from the church,
He's got this Abank account with riGghteous dollar Dbills.
But even stiEll I can't say much
Because I kGnow we're all the same,
Oh yes we've aAll got to satGisfy those thDrills.
[Chorus]
"EOh, there ain't no rest for the wiGcked,
MAoney don't grow on tDrees.
We Egot bills to pay,
We got Gmouths to feed,
There ain't nAothing in this world for fDree.
I know WeE can't slow down,
We Gcan't hold back,
Though you kAnow, we wish we cDould.
No there aEin't no rest for the wiGcked,
Until weA close our eyes for gEmood".
