A#mC#
People living their lives for you on TV
G#D#
They say theyʼre better than you and you agree
A#mC#
He says hold my calls from behind those covered crosses
G#D#
come here boy... there ainʼt nothing for free
A#mC#
Another doctorʼs bill, a lawyerʼs bill
G#D#
Another cute cheap thrill, you know you love him if you put him in your will
Chorus:
A#mC#G#D#
Who will save your soul when it comes to the flower
A#mC#G#D#
Who will save your soul after all the lies that you told, boy
A#mC#G#D#
Who will save your soul if you wonʼt save your own?
A#mC#G#D#A#mC#
We try to hustle them, try to bustle them, try to cuss them
G#D#
The cops want someone to bust down on Orleans Avenue
A#mC#
Another day, another dollar, another war,
G#D#
another tower went up to where the homeless had their homes
A#mC#
So we pray to as many different gods are there are
G#D#
flowers but we call religion our friend
A#mC#
Weʼre so worried about saving our souls
G#D#
Afraid that God will take His toll that we forget to begin
Chorus.
A#mC#
Some are walking, some are talking, some are stalking their
G#D#
kill... you get social security, but it doesnʼt pay your bills
A#mC#
There are addictions to feed and there are mouths to pay
G#D#
So you bargain with the Devil, say youʼre o.k. for today,
A#mC#
You say that you love them, take their money and run
G#D#
Say, itʼs been swell, sweetheart, but it was just one of those
A#mC#
things, those flings, those strings youʼve got to cut,
G#D#
So get out on the streets, girls, and bust your butts.
Chorus.
