歌曲：Ain't No Rest For The Wicked / 黑暗困境永不會終止
I was walking down the street when out the corner of my eye / 我走在街上，透過餘光
I saw a pretty little thing approaching me / 我看到一個小可愛走近我
She said I never seen a man who looks so all alone / 她說“我從沒見過一個男人如此孤單”
Could you use a little company? / 您是否想找個伴兒？
If you pay the right price,/ 如果價錢合適
Your evening will be nice / 您今晚將過的很愉快
Or you can go and send me on my way / 或者您走吧，讓我繼續這樣下去
I said your such a sweet young thing / 我說:你如此年輕可愛
Why'd you do this to yourself ? / 為什麼要幹這行？
She looked at me and this is what she said./ 她看著我，說：
There ain't no rest for the wicked / 黑暗困境永不會終止
Money don't grow on trees / 錢也不會長在樹上
I got bills to pay / 帳要還
I got mouths to feed / 家要養
There ain't nothing in this world for free / 世上沒有免費的東西
I know I can't slow down / 我知道我不能慢下腳步
I can't hold back though you know I wish I could / 儘管我想退縮，但你知道我不能
Oh no there ain't no rest for the wicked / 唉，困境永不會終止
Until we close our eyes for good / 只有閉上眼睛時才一了百了
Not even 15 minutes later after walking down the street / 過了還不到15分鐘，走在這條街
When I saw the shadow of a man creep out of sight / 我看到一個男人抽泣的身影
And then he swept up from behind / 看到他擦乾淚水，走上來
Put a gun up to my head / 拿槍指著我的頭
He made it clear he wasn't looking for a fight / 他明白的告訴我他不是來找麻煩的
He said give me all you've got / 他說：把所有都掏出來
I want your money not your life / 我要你的錢不要你的命
But if you try to make a move I won't think twice / 不過，如果你想耍聰明或是反抗，我會毫不猶豫
I told him you can have my cash / 我告訴他, 你可以把錢拿走
But first you know I've got to ask / 但是，首先，你知道我想問
What made you want to live this kind of life? / 是什麼逼你走上了這條道？
He said / 他說：
There ain't no rest for the wicked / 黑暗困境永不會終止
Money don't grow on trees / 錢也不會長在樹上
I got bills to pay / 帳要還
I got mouths to feed / 家要養
There ain't nothing in this world for free / 世上沒有免費的東西
I know I can't slow down / 我知道我不能慢下腳步
I can't hold back though you know I wish I could / 儘管我想退縮，但你知道我不能
Oh no there ain't no rest for the wicked / 唉，困境永不會終止
Until we close our eyes for good / 只有閉上眼睛時才一了百了
And now a couple hours past, and I was sitting in my house / 現在，幾個小時過去了，我坐在家裡
The day was winding down and coming to an end / 天色漸暗一天將逝
So I turned on the TV,and flipped it over to the news / 我打開電視，換著頻道，播到新聞
And what I saw I almost couldn't comprehend / 我看到了難以理解的東西
I saw a preacher man in cuffs taking money from the church / 我竟然看到一個牧師，戴著手銬，從教堂里拿出錢
He stuffed his bank account with righteous dollar bills / 他用合法的現鈔塞滿了他的銀行賬戶
But even still I can't say much cause I know were all the same / 但是我也沒什麼可說的
Oh yes we all seek out to satisfy those thrills / 因為我知道那無濟於事
You know there ain't no rest for the wicked / 你知道 黑暗困境永不會終止
Money don't grow on trees / 錢也不會長在樹上
We got bills to pay / 我們有帳要還
We got mouths to feed / 我們有家要養
There ain't nothing in this world for free / 世上沒有免費的東西
I know we can't slow down / 我知道我不能慢下腳步
