ain't no rest for the wicked - duunes lyrics
[verse 1]
well 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
uh, could you use a little company?”
and 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’d you do this to yourself?”
she looked at me and this is what she said
[chorus]
“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
and 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”
[verse 2]
not even 15 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
he 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
and if you try to make a move, i won’t think twice”
i said, “you can have my cash
but first you know i got to ask
what made you want to live this kind of life?”
[chorus]
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
and no 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”
[verse 3]
well, now a couple hours passed
and i was sitting at my house
the day was winding down and coming to an end
and 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
[chorus]
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 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
