16 Mouths have they, but they do not speak eyes, but they do not see 37 Ears have they. you no there aint no rest for the wicked, until we close our eyes for good. 8 Henceforth thy going out and in God keep for ever will. We can't slow down, we can't hold back though you know we wish we could. 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 ain't nothing in this world for free. Now a couple hours past, and I was sitting in 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 taking money from the church, he stuffed his bank account with righteous dollar bills but even still I can't say much cause I know were all the same, oh yes we all seek out to satisfy those thrills. 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 close our eyes for good. He said there aint no rest for the wicked, money don't grow on trees, I got bills to pay I got mouths to feed aint nothing in this world for free. By the river that you sold me down 'I got bills to pay' 'I've got mouths to feed' You turned them away put the shutters down 'they had bills to pay' 'they had lives to lead' You hear the ship breaking on the rocks as we sail straight on the same old course lessons learned and lessons that were lost as we sail straight on the same old course Took 40 years just to salt the earth you wanted it. Not even 15 minutes later, after walking down the street, when I saw the shadow of a man creep out of sight, then he swept up from behind, 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, if you try to make a move I wont think twice, I told him you can have my cash, but first you know I've got to ask, what made you want to live this kind of life?

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 close our eyes for good. 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. She looked at me and this is what she said. If you pay the right price, your evening will be nice, or you can go and send me on my way, I said your such a sweet young thing, why'd you do this to yourself? She said I never seen a man, who looks so all alone, could you use a little company? I was walking down the street when out the corner of my eye, I saw a pretty little thing approaching me. This is coming from a gamer who never thought anything could be better than Bioshock.

We are all the thief and the harlot looking for free pass to pay for everything that the world demands of us. In other words, the problem is universally applicable to everyone. The criminals in the story even vaguely know that to be extirpated from the rat race of life we must “slow down” and “turn back,” yet even this is beyond their control (“You know I wish I could”).īut what is most striking about this song is that the singer sees each criminal and (as the video demonstrates) he sees himself in each of them. They know that life isn’t as it should be and long for release from their imprisonment. The world itself is against all their efforts to make amends- nothing is free and everything is scarce.

I got bills I gotta pay So Ima gon work, work, work everyday I got mouths I gotta feed So Ima gon make. In the song, the singer asks different people why they committed their crimes and each time the simple answer is “there ain’t no rest for the wicked.” The interviewed criminals in the story are all caught in a the cycle of their transgression, trying to pay a debt they cannot afford.

(The chorus is below, for full lyrics go here) At the moment, I can’t find a song that speaks so directly to the problem of being human (known theologically as sin) as the Cage the Elephant’s recent single “Ain’t No Rest for the Wicked.” According to the song we are all wearied sinners trying to find a way to deal with the mess of our lives.
