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.
