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 (1)____________ thing approaching me
She (2)________ "I've never seen a man
Who looks so all alone
Could you use a (3)____________ company?
If you can 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 you do this to yourself?"
She looked at me and (4)________ 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 (5)____________ to feed
There ain't nothing in (6)________ world for free
I (7)________ 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"
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 (8)________ he sweeped 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 (9)__________ not (10)________ life
But if you try to (11)________ a (12)________ I won't think twice"
I go like "You can have my cash
But first you know I got to ask
What (13)________ you want to live (14)________ 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 (15)________ world for free
I know I can't slow down
I can't hold back
Though you know, I wish I could
Oh no, (16)__________ ain't no (17)________ for the wicked
Until we close our (18)________ for good"
...
Now a couple hours have passed
And I was sitting at my house
The day was winding (19)________ 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 (20)________________ man in cuffs
He'd taken money from the church
He stuffed his bank account with (21)__________________ dollar bills
But even still I can't say much
Because I (22)________ we're all the same
Oh yes we all (23)________ out to satisfy those thrills
"You (24)________ there 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 nothing in (25)________ world for free
I know we can't slow down
We can't hold back
Though you know, we (26)________ we could
Oh no there ain't no rest for the wicked
