| People living their lives for you on TV
|
| They say they’re better than you and you agree
|
| He says hold my calls from behind those cold brick walls
|
| Says come here boys, there ain’t nothing for free
|
| Another doctor’s bill, another lawyer’s bill, another cute cheap thrill
|
| You know you love him if you put him in your will, but …
|
| Who will save your soul when it comes to the flowers now
|
| Who will save your soul after all the lies that you told, boy
|
| Who will save your soul if you won’t save your own?
|
| We try to hustle them, try to bustle them, try to cuss them
|
| The cops want someone to bust down on Orleans Avenue
|
| Another day, another dollar, another war, another tower
|
| Went up to where the homeless had their homes
|
| So we pray to as many different gods are there are flowers
|
| But we call religion our friend
|
| We’re so worried about saving our souls
|
| Afraid that God will take His toll that we forget to begin but
|
| Who will save your soul when it comes to the flowers now
|
| Who will save your soul after all the lies that you told, boy
|
| Who will save your soul if you won’t save your own?
|
| Some are walking, some are talking, some are stalking their kill
|
| You got social security, but that don’t pay your bills
|
| There are addictions to feed and there are mouths to pay
|
| So you bargain with the Devil, say you’re o.k. |
| for today
|
| You say that you love them, take their money and run
|
| Say, it’s been swell, sweetheart, but it was just one of those things
|
| Those flings, those strings you’ve got to cut
|
| So get out on the streets, girls, and bust your butts
|
| Who will save your soul when it comes to the flowers now
|
| Who will save your soul after all the lies that you told, boy
|
| Who will save your soul if you won’t save your own? |
