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 (3)______________ 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 (4)________ for the wicked
Money don't grow on trees
I got bills to pay
I got mouths to feed
There ain't nothing in (5)________ (6)__________ for free
I know 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 (7)__________ 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 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 (8)________ a move I won't (9)__________ twice"
I go like "You can (10)________ my cash
But first you (11)________ I got to ask
What (12)________ 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 (13)__________ to pay
I got (14)____________ to feed
There ain't nothing in this world for free
I (15)________ I can't slow down
I can't hold back
Though you know, I wish I could
Oh no, there ain't no (16)________ for the wicked
Until we close our eyes for good"
...
Now a couple hours have passed
And I was sitting at my house
The day was winding down and coming 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 preacher man in cuffs
He'd taken (17)__________ from the church
He stuffed his bank account (18)________ (19)__________________ 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 (20)______________ those thrills
"You (21)________ 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 (23)________ (24)__________ for free
I know we can't (25)________ down
We can't hold back
Though you know, we (26)________ we could
Oh no there ain't no rest for the wicked
Until we close our eyes for good"
