Gallagher, Rory - No Peace For The Wicked Lyrics






No peace for the wicked
No way, no how If you've gone and did it
You gotta pay somehow
No use complaining
'Bout the hand that feeds
Now you know it's raining
How come you talk to me
How come you talk to me,
Well your friends in high places
Won't bail you out this time
With all your social grace
It's like a pantomime
Feeling so uneasy
You can't tell friend from foe
Your always looking back
To see who's coming through the door
You're like aloaded heater
Just about to go off the street
You need a baby-sitter
To pick you up if you can't stand the heat
You sold protection
Fed the common fear
Took yes for an answer
You didn't see the tears
Collecting from the loanshark

    Several millions of words have been used to right praise the mighty Rory Gallagher but not enough has been said about the brilliance of his writing, he was a top grade wordsmith, this song shows a little of what he was capable of

    Wordsmith is an appropriate Title for Rory. His heart and soul so full of beautiful words to describe what he felt.Because he, himself, was so beautiful inside that he could do this and actually share all this with us.. boy are we ever lucky!! Thank U you wonderful kind beautiful man. I want to see u in Heaven. . Thank you.. I love you eternally. Judy xo🎶🎸🎷🎤💙🌹🍀🎵

    No peace for the wicked
    No way, no how
    If you've gone and done 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?
    Well, yeah

    Well, 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 'yes' for an answer
    You didn't see the tears

    Collecting for the loanshark with the silken fist
    Now you've crossed the 'company'
    With the Judas kiss
    They've got you on the list, yeah

    You're like a loaded heater
    Just about to go off on the street
    You need a baby sitter
    To pick you up if you can't stand the heat, yeah

    No peace for the wicked
    No way, no how
    If you've gone and done 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?
    Yeah

    Well, 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 peeled
    Practice what you preach.

    Why do I go through these deep emotional traumas
    Why can't I be like I always wanted to be, carefree
    Why can't I be happy like everybody else?

    There's no peace for the wicked
    They say no peace for the wicked
    Loud and clear, no peace for the wicked
    The angels tell me
    No peace for the wicked

    Sitting at home, trying to forget the world outside
    You're on the phone telling me there's no love inside me
    What have I done to deserve this hostility?

    There's no peace for the wicked
    They say no peace for the wicked
    Loud and clear, no peace for the wicked
    The angels tell me
    No peace for the wicked

    I'm in love with extreme mental torture
    I'm in love with the way you hold ya head and cry
    I'm in love with all these affairs of the heart

    There's no peace for the wicked
    They say no peace for the wicked
    Loud and clear, no peace for the wicked
    The angels tell me
    No peace for the wicked
