Aint No Rest For The Wicked Lyrics - Cage The Elephant - 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've never seen a man 

Who looks so all alone 

Could you use a little company? 

If you pay the right price 

Your evening will be nice 

And you can go and send me on my way 

I said "You're such a sweet young thing 

Why 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 fifteen 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 

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 

But if you try to make a move I won't think twice 

I told him "You can have my cash 

Photos 

But first you know I 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 

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" 

Yeah 

(You know it... He was a... You know it... He was a...) 

Well now a couple hours passed 

And I was sitting at my house 

The day was winding down and coming to an end 

An' 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, he'd taken money from the church 

He'd 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 

There ain't nothing in this world for free 

I know we can't slow down 

We can't hold back 

Though you know, we wish we could 

Oh no there ain't no rest for the wicked 

Until we close our eyes for good
