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