Rory Gallagher - No Peace For The Wicked lyrics

rate me

No peace for the wicked,<br />

No way, no how.<br />

If you've gone and done it,<br />

You gotta pay somehow.<br />

<br />

No use complaining,<br />

About the hand that feeds.<br />

Now you know that it's raining,<br />

How come you talk to me?<br />

How come you talk to me?<br />

<br />

Well..yeah..<br />

<br />

Well your friends in high places,<br />

Won't bail you out this time.<br />

With all your social graces,<br />

It's like a pantomime.<br />

<br />

Feeling so uneasy,<br />

You can't tell friend from foe.<br />

You're always looking back to see,<br />

Who's coming through the door.<br />

<br />

You sold protection,<br />

Fed the common fear.<br />

Took 'yes' for an answer,<br />

You didn't see the tears.<br />

<br />

Collecting for the loanshark,<br />

With the silken fist.<br />

Now you've crossed the 'company',<br />

With the Judas kiss.<br />

They've got you on the list.<br />

<br />

Yeah...<br />

<br />

You're like a loaded heater,<br />

Just about to go off on the street.<br />

You need a baby-sitter,<br />

To pick you up if you can't stand the heat.<br />

<br />

Yeah...<br />

<br />

No peace for the wicked,<br />

No way, no how.<br />

If you've gone and done it,<br />

You gotta pay somehow.<br />

<br />

No use complaining,<br />

About the hand that feeds.<br />

Now you know that it's raining,<br />

How come you talk to me?<br />

How come you talk to me?<br />

<br />

Yeah...<br />

<br />

Well your friends in low places,<br />

Have tightened up the screw.<br />

They've made this town a nightmare,<br />

You're trapped. What can you do?<br />

<br />

The quality of mercy,<br />

Is really out of reach.<br />

Don't call on the ones you peeled,<br />

Practice what you preach.
