No Rest for the Wicked - YYH AMV

At long last, my first AMV is completed. (Lyrics are below.) It basically follows the first season of Yu Yu Hakusho in chronological order. First Yusuke's accident and meeting Botan, then the 3 stolen artifacts, followed by the 4 Saint Beasts, and wrapping up with Tarukane and the Toguro Brothers.

Thanks for watching!

Lyrics to "Ain't No Rest for the Wicked", by Cage the Elephant:

I was walkin' down the street when out the corner of my eye
I saw a pretty little thing approachin' me
She said, "I've never seen a man
Who looked so all alone, could you use a little company?"

If you pay the right price your evenin' will be nice,
Or you can go and send me on my way.
I said, "You're such a sweet young thing, why you do this to yourself?
She looked at me and this is what she said

Oh, there ain't no rest for the wicked
Money don't grow on trees
I got bills to pay, I got mouths to feed
Ain't nothin' in this world for free

Oh no, I can't slow down, I can't hold back
Though, you know, I wish I could
Oh no, there ain't no rest for the wicked
Until we close our eyes for good.

Not even fifteen minutes later after walkin' down the street
When I saw the shadow of a man creep out of sight
And then he swept up from behind, he put a gun up to my head
He made it clear he wasn't lookin' for a fight

He said give me all you've got, I want your money not your life
But if you try to make a move I won't think twice
I told him you can have my cash, but you know I've got to ask
What made you want to live this kind of life?

He said there ain't no rest for the wicked
Money don't grow on trees
I got bills to pay, I got mouths to feed
There ain't nothing in this world for free

Oh no, I can't slow down, I can't hold back
Though, you know, I wish I could
Oh no, there ain't no rest for the wicked
Until we close our eyes for good

Well, now a couple hours passed and I was sitting in my house
The day was winding down and coming to an end.
And so I turned on the TV and flipped it over to the news
And what I saw I almost couldn't comprehend

I saw a preacher man in cuffs, he'd taken money from the church
He stuffed his bank account with righteous dollar bills
But even still I can't say much because I know we're all the same
Oh yes, we all seek out to satisfy those thrills

You know there ain't no rest for the wicked
Money don't grow on trees
We got bills to pay, We got mouths to feed
There ain't nothin' in this world for free

Oh no, we can't slow down, we can't hold back
Though, you know, we wish we could
Oh no, there ain't no rest for the wicked
Until we close our eyes for good.

I really liked the ending

[slubanski1]

@FeroLakra Yes, the classic decapitated-head-flying-into-t­he-camera shot. It's not used very often, but I felt it was appropriate here.
