(Lennon & Maisy cover of the Cage the Elephant song)
[Intro]
| Am | Am G | Am | Am G |
Ooh. Ooh, ooh Ooh. Ooh, ooh, ooh. Ooh, ooh Ooh. Ooh, ooh
[Verse 1]
I was Amwalking down the street when out the Ccorner of my eye
I saw a Dmpretty little thing approaching Gme Em..
She said "I've Amnever seen a man who Clooks so all alone,
Oh you could Dmuse a little compaAmny G..
And if you Ampay the right price your Cevening will be nice,
And you can Dmgo and send me on my Gway" Em..
You're such a Amsweet young thing, why did you Cdo this to yourself?
She Dmlooked at me and Amshe said,
[Chorus]
"No, no, there Amain't no rest for the Cwicked G..
AmMoney don't grow on Ctrees G..
I got Ambills to pay, I got Cmouths to Gfeed
There ain't Amnothing in this world for Cfree G..
I know I Amcan't slow down, I Ccan't hold Gback
Though you Amknow, I wish I Ccould G..
No, there Amain't no rest for the Cwicked G..
Until we Amclose our eyes for Cgood" G..
[Verse 2]
Not even Amfifteen minutes later I'm still Cwalking down the street
I saw a Dmshadow of a man creep out of Gsight Em..
And then he Amswept up from behind, he put a Cgun up to my head
He made it Dmclear he wasn't looking for a Gfight Em..
He said, "AmGive me all you've got. I want your Cmoney not your life
But if you Dmtry to make a move I won't think Gtwice" Em..
I said, "AmTake my cash, but Cfirst I gotta ask
What made you Dmlive this kind of life?" And he Amsaid,
[Chorus]
"No, no, there Amain't no rest for the Cwicked G..
AmMoney don't grow on Ctrees G..
I got Ambills to pay, I got Cmouths to Gfeed
There ain't Amnothing in this world for Cfree G..
I know I Amcan't slow down, I Ccan't hold Gback
Though you Amknow, I wish I Ccould G..
No, there Amain't no rest for the Cwicked G..
Until we Amclose our eyes for good"
| Am | Am | Am | Am |
[Verse 3]
Well, now a Amcouple hours passed and I was Csitting in my house
The day was Dmwinding down and coming to an Gend Em..
So I Amturned on the TV and flipped it Cover to the news
And what I Dmsaw I almost couldn't compreGhend Em..
I saw a Ampreacher man in cuffs taken Cmoney from the church
Stuffed his Dmbank account with righteous dollar Gbills Em..
But I Amcan't say much 'cause I Cknow we're all the same
We Dmall need to satisfy those Amthrills.
[Chorus]
No, no, there Amain't no rest for the Cwicked G..
AmMoney don't grow on Ctrees G..
I got Ambills to pay, I got Cmouths to Gfeed
There ain't Amnothing in this world for Cfree G..
I know I Amcan't slow down, I Ccan't hold Gback
Though you Amknow, I wish I Ccould G..
No, there Amain't no rest for the Cwicked G..
Until we Amclose our eyes for good
