Ain't No Rest For The Wicked by Cage The Elephant

I was walking (1)________ the street
When out the (2)____________ of my eye
I saw a pretty little thing (3)______________________ me
She said "I've never seen a man
Who looks so all alone
Could you use a little company?
If you can pay the right price
Your evening will be nice
And you can go and (4)________ 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 (5)________ on trees
I got (6)__________ to pay
I got mouths to feed
There ain't nothing in this world for free
I know I can't (7)________ 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 (8)______________ later
I'm still walking (9)________ the street
When I saw the shadow of a man creep out of sight
And then he (10)______________ up from behind
He put a gun up to my head
He made it clear he wasn't (11)______________ 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 go like "You can have my cash
But first you (12)________ I got to ask
What made you want to live this kind of life?"
He (13)________ "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 (14)________ world for free
I (15)________ 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 (16)________ for good"
...
Now a couple hours have passed
And I was sitting at 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
He'd taken money from the church
He (17)______________ his bank account with (18)__________________ 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 (19)______________ those thrills
"You know there ain't no rest for the wicked
Money don't grow on trees
We got (20)__________ to pay
We got mouths to feed
There ain't (21)______________ in this world for free
I know we can't slow down
We can't hold back
Though you know, we (22)________ we could
Oh no there ain't no (23)________ for the wicked
Until we close our eyes for good"
