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's nothing for free
Another doctor's bill
A 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?
Who will save your soul
After those lies that you told, boy?
And who will save your soul if you won't save your own?
La da de da de da la da da
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
Where the homeless had their homes
So we pray to as many different gods
As 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?
Who will save your soul
After those lies that you told, boy?
And who will save your soul if you won't save your own?
La da de da de da la da da
Some are walking
Some are talking
Some are stalking their k**
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
But you're okay for today 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 bu*ts
Who will save..
Save your soul when it comes to the babies now?
Oh, who will save your soul
After those lies that you told, boy?
And who will save...
Save your soul if you won't save your own?
