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

I was walking down the street
When out the corner of my eye
I saw a pretty little (1)__________ approaching me
She (2)________ "I've (3)__________ 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 send me on my way"
I (4)________ "You're (5)________ a sweet young thing
Why you do (6)________ 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 (7)________ down
I can't (8)________ back
Though you know, I wish I could
Oh no, there ain't no (9)________ 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 sweeped up (10)________ 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 (11)________ 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 know I got to ask
What (12)________ 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 (13)________ (14)__________ for free
I know I can't (15)________ 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 (16)__________ our eyes 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 stuffed his (17)________ 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 (19)________ out to satisfy those thrills
"You (20)________ (21)__________ ain't no (22)________ for the wicked
Money don't grow on trees
We got bills to pay
We got mouths to feed
There ain't (23)______________ 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 (24)__________ our eyes for good"
