Ain't No Rest for the Wicked - Cage the Elephant

[00:00.000] 作曲 : Cage the Elephant
[00:13.51]I was walking down the street,
[00:15.21]When out the corner of my eye
[00:17.95]I saw a pretty little thing approaching me.
[00:19.69]She said "I've never seen a man
[00:21.19]Who looks so all alone,
[00:23.93]Could you use a little company?
[00:25.63]If you can pay the right price
[00:27.27]Your evening will be nice,
[00:30.41]And you can go and send me on my way."
[00:32.02]I said "You're such a sweet young thing
[00:33.81]Why you do this to yourself?"
[00:36.50]She looked at me and this is what she said:
[00:39.29]"Oh, there ain't no rest for the wicked,
[00:42.43]Money don't grow on trees.
[00:43.62]I got bills to pay,
[00:45.57]I got mouths to feed,
[00:48.66]There ain't nothing in this world for free.
[00:50.35]I know I can't slow down,
[00:51.84]I can't hold back,
[00:52.34]Though you know, I wish I could.
[00:55.12]No there ain't no rest for the wicked,
[00:57.87]Until we close our eyes for good".
[01:01.00]Not even fifteen minutes later
[01:02.60]I'm still walking down the street,
[01:04.09]When I saw a shadow of a man creep out of sight
[01:06.90]And then he sweeps up from behind
[01:08.59]And puts a gun up to my head,
[01:10.45]He made it clear he wasn't looking for a fight.
[01:13.38]He said "Give me all you've got
[01:15.02]I want your money not your life,
[01:16.63]But if you try to make a move I won't think twice."
[01:19.76]I go like "You can have my cash
[01:21.16]But first you know I got to ask
[01:22.90]What made you want to live this kind of life?"
[01:25.55]He said "There ain't no rest for the wicked,
[01:28.51]Money don't grow on trees.
[01:31.56]I got bills to pay,
[01:32.90]I got mouths to feed,
[01:34.59]There ain't nothing in this world for free.
[01:37.94]I know I can't slow down,
[01:39.78]I can't hold back,
[01:41.42]Though you know, I wish I could.
[01:44.11]No there ain't no rest for the wicked,
[01:47.15]Until we close our eyes for good".
[02:02.53]Now a couple hours have passed
[02:04.02]And I was sitting at my house,
[02:05.48]The day was winding down and coming to an end.
[02:07.17]So I turned on the TV
[02:10.25]And flipped it over to the news,
[02:11.75]And what I saw I almost couldn't comprehend.
[02:14.44]I saw a preacher man in cuffs he'd taken money from the church,
[02:17.80]He stuffed his bank account with righteous dollar bills.
[02:20.99]But even still I can't say much
[02:22.53]Because I know we're all the same,
[02:24.34]oh yes we all seek out to satisfy those thrills
[02:27.18]"You know there ain't no rest for the wicked,
[02:30.12]Money don't grow on trees.
[02:33.27]We got bills to pay,
[02:34.71]We got mouths to feed,
[02:36.61]There ain't nothing in this world for free.
[02:39.25]I know we can't slow down,
[02:41.10]We can't hold back,
[02:42.65]Though you know, we wish we could.
[02:45.73]No there ain't no rest for the wicked,
[02:48.47]Until we close our eyes for good
