BmD
People living their lives for you on TV
AE
They say theyʼre better than you and you agree
BmD
He says hold my calls from behind those covered crosses
AE
come here boy... there ainʼt nothing for free
BmD
Another doctorʼs bill, a lawyerʼs bill
AE
Another cute cheap thrill, you know you love him if you put him in your will
Chorus:
BmDAE
Who will save your soul when it comes to the flower
BmDAE
Who will save your soul after all the lies that you told, boy
BmDAE
Who will save your soul if you wonʼt save your own?
BmDAEBmD
We try to hustle them, try to bustle them, try to cuss them
AE
The cops want someone to bust down on Orleans Avenue
BmD
Another day, another dollar, another war,
AE
another tower went up to where the homeless had their homes
BmD
So we pray to as many different gods are there are
AE
flowers but we call religion our friend
BmD

AE

BmD
There are addictions to feed and there are mouths to pay
AE

BmD
You say that you love them, take their money and run
AE
Say, itʼs been swell, sweetheart, but it was just one of those
BmD
things, those flings, those strings youʼve got to cut,
AE
So get out on the streets, girls, and bust your butts.
Chorus.
