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