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

I was walking (1)________ the street
When out the corner of my eye
I saw a (2)____________ 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 can pay the right price
Your evening (3)________ be nice
And you can go and send me on my way"
I said "You're such a sweet young thing
Why you do (4)________ to yourself?"
She (5)____________ 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 (6)__________ to pay
I got mouths to feed
There ain't nothing in (7)________ world for free
I know I can't (8)________ 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 (9)____________ of a man creep out of sight
And then he sweeped up from behind
He put a gun up to my head
He made it (10)__________ he wasn't looking for a fight
He said "Give me all you've got
I want (11)________ money not your life
But if you try to (12)________ a move I won't think twice"
I go like "You can (13)________ my cash
But (14)__________ you know I got to ask
What made you want to live this (15)________ of life?"
He said "There ain't no (16)________ for the wicked
Money don't (17)________ 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 (18)________ 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"
...
Now a couple hours have passed
And I was (19)______________ 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 (20)________ I saw I almost couldn't comprehend
I saw a preacher man in cuffs
He'd taken money from the church
He 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 (21)__________ 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 (22)______________ in this world for free
I (23)________ we can't slow down
We can't hold back
Though you know, we (24)________ we could
Oh no (25)__________ ain't no rest for the wicked
Until we close our eyes for good"
