About
The song talks about three particular instances in which the narrator realizes "there ain't no rest for the wicked". First, he encounters a prostitute. The narrator proceeds to ask her why she does what she does. The chorus (her response) analyses the main reasons why individuals follow the paths they follow ("money don't grow on trees/ I've got bills to pay/ I've got mouths to feed"). The narrator then encounters a second individual who robs him, who he asks the same question. Finally, upon turning on the television, the narrator sees a priest being arrested for pocketing the funds of his church. This is followed by a third chorus with the same answers.
