Donnie Iris - No Rest For The Wicked lyrics

I wear an “A” on my chest And it won't rub off I've been beating my breast But it won't come off I work all night in a smoky club Spend all day eating wheat flag sludge I really need to get some sleep I really need to have some peace I really need to get relief No rest for the wicked tonight So I pick up my ball and chain And I go back to work again I give you all my pay What the governor don't take I wish that I could take a break Whatever I did was a big mistake No rest for the wicked tonight I hang onto the hope we'll see the promised land Where there is sunshine, it makes everything look grand I really need to get some sleep I really need to have some peace I really need to get relief No rest for the wicked tonight
