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