Ain't No Rest for the Wicked (Originally Performed By Cage the Elephant) (Tribute Version) - New Tribute Kings

You wanna

Get know him

You wanna

I was walking down the street

When out the corner of my eye

I saw a pretty little thing approaching me

She said I never seen a man

Who looks so all alone

Oh could you use a little company

And 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 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

Oh no 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

After 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 gotta 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 I got mouths to feed

There ain't nothing in this world for free

Oh no 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 wanna

You know

You wanna

Well now a couple hours passed and

I was sitting in 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

I saw a preacher man in cuffs

He'd taken money from the church

He'd 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 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

Oh no we can't slow down we 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
