He says now—
I say now—
He's got a—
[Verse 1]
Well, I was walking down the street when out the corner of my eye
I see this puny little thing skulk into sight
And so I creep up from behind and put a gun up to his head
I make it clear that I'm not looking for a fight
I say "Give me all you got, I want your money, not your life
But if you try to make a move, I won't think twice"
He says now, "You can have my cash but first, you know I gotta ask
What made you wanna live this kind of life?"
[Chorus]
I 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 eyеs for good"
[Verse 2]
Not even fifteen minutes latеr, I'm still walking down the street
When I hear those rotten reds and blues begin to wail
And so I bust into the truck stop so conveniently near
As the cashier realizes he ain't making a sale
I say now, "I won't say this twice, so listen up and listen well
You make one sound, signal or motion and I shoot
No, I ain't cashing out just yet, but if I've placed a losing bet
Then God damn it, man, you better bet you're coming too"
