He was a-
00:13
Ya know it
00:16
He was a-
00:18
I was walking down the street
00:21
When out the corner of my eye
00:23
I saw a pretty little thing approaching me
00:24
She said, I've never seen a man
00:26
Who looks so all alone
00:29
Uh, could you use a little company?
00:30
If you pay the right price
00:32
Your evening will be nice
00:35
And you can go and send me on my way
00:37
I said, "You're such a sweet young thing
00:39
Why'd you do this to yourself?"
00:41
She looked at me and this is what she said
00:42
"Oh, there ain't no rest for the wicked
00:45
Money don't grow on trees
00:48
I got bills to pay
00:51
I got mouths to feed
00:53
There ain't nothing in this world for free
00:54
I know I can't slow down
00:57
I can't hold back
00:59
Though you know
01:00
I wish I could
01:01
Oh, no there ain't no rest for the wicked
01:03
Until we close our eyes for good"
01:07
Not even 15 minutes later
01:09
I'm still walking down the street
01:11
When I saw the shadow of a man creep out of sight
01:13
And then he swept up from behind
01:15
He put a gun up to my head
01:17
He made it clear he wasn't looking for a fight
01:19
He said, "Give me all you've got
01:21
I want your money not your life
01:24
But if you try to make a move, I won't think twice"
01:25
I told him, "You can have my cash
01:27
But first you know I got to ask
01:29
What made you want to live this kind of life?"
01:32
He said, "There ain't no rest for the wicked
01:33
Money don't grow on trees
01:36
I got bills to pay
01:39
I got mouths to feed
01:41
There ain't nothing in this world for free
01:42
I know I can't slow down
01:46
I can't hold back
01:49
Though you know, I wish I could
01:49
Oh no there ain't no rest for the wicked
01:51
Until we close our eyes for good"
01:56
Yeah
01:57
You know it
02:01
He was a-
02:02
You know it
02:04
He was a-
02:05
Well, now a couple hours passed
02:09
And I was sitting at my house
02:11
The day was winding down and coming to an end
02:12
And so I turned on the TV
02:15
And flipped it over to the news
02:17
And what I saw I almost couldn't comprehend
02:19
I saw a preacher man in cuffs
02:21
He'd taken money from the church
02:23
He'd stuffed his bank account with righteous dollar bills
02:24
But even still I can't say much
02:27
Because I know we're all the same
02:29
Oh yes, we all seek out to satisfy those thrills
02:30
You know there ain't no rest for the wicked
02:33
Money don't grow on trees
02:37
We got bills to pay
02:39
We got mouths to feed
02:41
There ain't nothing in this world for free
02:42
I know we can't slow down
02:45
We can't hold back, though you know, we wish we could
02:47
Oh no, there ain't no rest for the wicked
02:53
Until we close our eyes for good
02:54
02:57
Lyrics & Translation
[English]
He was a-Ya know it
He was a-
I was walking down the street
When out the corner of my eye
I saw a pretty little thing approaching me
She said, I've never seen a man
Who looks so all alone
Uh, could you use a little company?
If you 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'd 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 wish I could
Oh, no there ain't no rest for the wicked
Until we close our eyes for good"
Not even 15 minutes later
I'm still walking down the street
When I saw the shadow of a man creep out of sight
And then he swept 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 money not your life
But if you try to make a move, I won't think twice"
I told him, "You can have my cash
But first you know I got to ask
What made 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

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"
Yeah
You know it
He was a-
You know it
He was a-
Well, now a couple hours passed
And I was sitting at my house
The day was winding down and coming to an end
And so I turned on the TV
And flipped it over to the news
And what I saw I almost couldn't comprehend

But even still I can't say much

Oh yes, we all seek out to satisfy those thrills
You know 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 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 close our eyes for good
