No Peace for the Wicked Lyrics

No peace for the wicked, no way, no how
If you gone and did it, you gotta pay somehow
No use complaining about the hand that feeds
Now you know that it′s raining
How come you talk to me?
How come you talk to me?
Your friends in high places won't bail you out this time
With all your social graces it′s like a pantomime
Feeling so uneasy, you can't tell friend from foe
You're always looking back to see who′s coming through the door
You sold protection, fed the common fear
Took a yes for an answer, didn′t see the tears
Collecting for the loan sharks with a silken fist
Now you crossed the company with a Judas kiss
You got your own list
You're like a loaded heater
Just about to go up on the street
You need a baby-sitter
To pick you up if you can′t stand the heat
No peace for the wicked, no way, no how
If you gone and did it, you gotta pay somehow
No use complaining about the hand that bleeds
Now you know that it's raining
How come you talk to me?
How come you talk to me?
Your friends in low places have tightened up the screw
They′ve made this town a nightmare
You're trapped, what can you do?
The quality of mercy is really out of reach
Don′t call on the ones you've healed
Practice what you preach
