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 (2)______________________ 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 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 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 slow down
I can't hold back
Though you know, I (3)________ 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 then he sweeped up from behind
He put a gun up to my head
He made it clear he wasn't (4)______________ 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 (5)________ "You can have my cash
But first you know I got to ask
What made you want to (6)________ 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 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"
...
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 (7)________ 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 there ain't no (8)________ for the wicked
Money don't grow on trees
We got bills to pay
We got mouths to feed
There ain't nothing in (9)________ 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 (10)________ for the wicked
Until we close our eyes for good"
