Lyrics
No peace for the wicked, do the guilty get to sleep.
In the eye of the beholder, see the beauty skin deep.
Sit around the television; hear the knocking on the door.
It's the game show religion and the crime d' l'amour.
See the old moon shining,
See the new sun rising,
Got it stamped on your ticket,
No peace. No peace for the wicked.
No peace for the wicked, and when you're living on the street.
You gotta keep your wits about you, gotta think upon your feet.
And you gotta be clever, to live your life outside the law.
And you never, never, never, commit the crime d' l'amour.
See the old moon shining,
See the new sun rising,
Got it stamped on your ticket,
No peace. No peace for the wicked.
No peace for the wicked, the devil watches for his own.
Birds of a feather stick together, until the cows come home.
You're yelling at me from your favourite chair
Maybe you even think I might really care?
See the old moon shining,
See the new sun rising,
Got it stamped on your ticket,
No peace. No peace for the wicked.
