Cage The Elephant - Ain't No Rest For The Wicked | Live @ JBTV

Alternative rock giants, Cage the Elephant performed a very special live show at JBTV studios and performed their smash hit, "Ain't No Rest For The Wicked" from their 2008 self-titled album. This song earned them an appearance on The Late Show with David Letterman and could be heard in the hit video game Borderlands. Cage The Elephant formed in 2006 in Bowling Green, Kentucky and the quintet found mainstream success in 2009 following the release of their Debut self-titled album the year prior. They went on to release two more albums, Thank You Happy Birthday and Melophobia. The release of Melophobia in 2013 led them to even greater success, touring with Muse and The Black Keys and playing Lollapalooza 2014. Their 4th studio album, Tell Me I'm Pretty, is set to be released in December 2015. Lyrics: I was walkin' down the street When out the corner of my eye I saw a pretty little thing approaching me She said, "I never seen a man Who looked so all alone Oh could you use a little company? And if you pay the right price Your evening 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 rest for the wicked Money don't grow on trees I got bills to pay I got mouths to feed And ain't nothing in this world for free No I can't slow down I can't hold back Though you know I wish I could No there ain't no rest for the wicked Until we close our eyes for good Not even 15 minutes later I'm still walkin' down the street When I saw the shadow of a man creep out of sight And then he swept up from behind He put a gun up to my head He made it clear he wasn't lookin' for a fight He said, "Give me all you got. I want your money not your life, But if you try to make a move I won't think twice." I told him, "You can have my cash, But first you know I gotta ask What made you wanna live this kind of life?" He said Oh, there ain't no rest for the wicked Money don't grow on trees I got bills to pay I got mouths to feed And ain't nothing in this world for free No I can't slow down I can't hold back Though you know I wish I could No there ain't no rest for the wicked Until we close our eyes for good Well now a couple hours passed And I was sitting in my house The day was winding down and coming to an end So I turned to 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 money from the church He'd stuff his bank account with righteous 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 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 And ain't nothing in this world for free No we can't slow down We can't hold back Though you know we wish we could No there ain't no rest for the wicked Until we close our eyes for good To find more content treats like this join JBTV social channels at: Facebook:   / jbtvmusic   Twitter:   / jbtv   Instagram:   / jbtvstudio   Tumblr:   / jbtvonline
