  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? 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 I'm still walking down the street 

  When I saw the shadow of a man creep out 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?"

  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
