No Rest for the Wicked
No rest for the wicked
No high holy day set aside for me
No rest for the wicked
No mercy no pity no sympathy
No rest for the wicked
No shelter from the rain pourin' down on me
No doubt about my ticket
It's a one-way ride, like a river runs to the sea
I am resolved to this, yeah I am down with that
I'm so far gone there ain't no turnin' back
They say an idle hand is the devil's tool
But this itchin' in my fingers takes exception to the rule
Got a wanderin' eye got a restless soul
Never chew a bite if I can swallow it whole
Such a busy body addicted to sin, got
Hot blood percolatin' underneath my skin
No rest for the wicked
No pardon for the sentence hangin' over me
No pillow for my thick head
No salvaging my dignity
No redemption under warranty
No mercy no pity no sympathy
No rest for a wicked piece o' work like me.
