Ain't No Rest For The Wicked by Cage The Elephant

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 (1)__________ seen a man
Who looks so all alone
Could you use a little company?
If you can pay the (2)__________ price
Your evening (3)________ be nice
And you can go and send me on my way"
I (4)________ "You're such a sweet young thing
Why you do this to yourself?"
She looked at me and (5)________ is (6)________ she said:
"Oh, there ain't no rest for the wicked
Money don't (7)________ 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, (8)__________ 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 of sight
And then he sweeped up from behind
He put a gun up to my head
He (9)________ it clear he wasn't (10)______________ for a fight
He (11)________ "Give me all you've got
I (12)________ your money not (13)________ life
But if you try to make a move I won't think twice"
I go like "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
I got mouths to feed
There ain't nothing in this (14)__________ for free
I (15)________ I can't slow down
I can't hold back
Though you know, I wish I could
Oh no, (16)__________ ain't no rest for the wicked
Until we close our eyes for good"
...
Now a couple (17)__________ (18)________ passed
And I was sitting at my house
The day was winding down and (19)____________ to an end
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 (20)________________ man in cuffs
He'd taken money from the church
He stuffed his bank account with righteous dollar bills
But even still I can't say much
Because I (21)________ 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 (22)______________ in this world for free
I (23)________ we can't slow down
We can't (24)________ back
Though you know, we (25)________ we could
Oh no there ain't no rest for the wicked
Until we close our eyes for good"
