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