Lyrics

Who will save your soul

People living their lives for you on tv
They say they're better than you and you agree
She says, "hold my calls from behind a cold brick wall
She says, "come here boy, there ain't nothing for free"
Another doctor's bill, a lawyer's bill
Another cute cheap thrill
You know you love him if you put in your will, but

Chorus:
Who will save your soul when it comes to the flowers now?
Who will save your soul after those lies that you told, boy?
Who will save your soul if you won't save your own?
La da da da da di di di

We try to hustle them, try to bustle them, try to cuss them
The cops want someone to bust down on orleans avenue
Another day, another dollar, another war, another tower
Went up where the homeless had their homes
So we pray to as many different god's as there are flowers
But we call religion our friend
We're so worried about saving our souls
Afraid that god will take his toll
That we forget to begin, but

Chorus (beggars instead of flowers)

Some are walking, some are talking, some are stalking their kill
Got social security, but it doesn't pay your bills
There are addictions to feed and there are mouths to pay
So you bargain with the devil, but you're o.k. for today
Say you love them, take their money and run
Say "it's been swell, sweetheart, but it was just one of those things
Those flings, those strings you've got to cut
So get out on the streets, girls, and bust your butts

Chorus (ad lib)
