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