Ain't No Rest for the Wicked - Cage the Elephant
1.
GB
I was walking down the street, when out the corner of my eye
CBF
I saw a pretty little thing approaching me.
GB
She said "I've never seen a man who looks so all alone,
CBF
Could you use a little company?
GB
If you pay the right price your evening will be nice,
CBF
And you can go and send me on my way."
GB
I said "You're such a sweet young thing, why you do this to yourself?"
CBF
She looked at me and this is what she said,
Ref.
GBCF
"Oh, there ain't no rest for the wicked,
GBCF
Money don't grow on trees.
GBCF
I got bills to pay, I got mouths to feed,
GBCF
There ain't nothing in this world for free.
GBCF
I know I can't slow down, I can't hold back,
GBCF
Though you know, I wish I could.
GBCF
No there ain't no rest for the wicked,
GBCF
Until we close our eyes for good".

Not even fifteen minutes later I'm still walking down the street,
CBF
When I saw a shadow of a man creep out of sight.
GB
Then he walks up from behind and puts a gun up to my head,
CBF
He made it clear he wasn't looking for a fight.
GB
He said "Give me all you've got I want your money not your life,
CBF
But if you try to make a move I won't think twice."
GB
I said "You can have my cash but first you know I got to ask
CBF
What made you want to live this kind of life?"

GB
Now a couple hours passed and I was sitting at my house,
CBF
The day was winding down and coming to an end.
GB
So I turned on the TV and flipped it over to the news,
CBF
And what I saw I almost couldn't comprehend.
GB
I saw a preacher man in cuffs, he'd taken money from the church,
CBF
He'd stuffed his bank account with righteous dollar bills.
GB
But even still I can't say much because I know we're all the same,
CBF
Oh yes we all seek out to satisfy those thrills.
