Who Will Save Your Soul

People living their lives for you on TV
They say they're better than you
And you agree

She says "hold my calls"
From behind thos cold brick walls
She says "come here, boy
There ain't 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, now
Oh, 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
La da da da di da da
La da da ya die

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 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

Who will save your soul
When it comes to the flowers, now
Oh, 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
La da da da di da da
La da da ya die

Some are walking, some are talking
Some are stalking their kill
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 butts

Who will save your soul
When it comes to the flowers, now
Oh, 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
La da da da di da da
La da da ya die

Di da da
Di da da
Da die ya ba da

Di da da
Di da da
Da die ya ba da

Di da da
Di da da
Da die ya ba da

Di da da
Di da da
Da die ya ba da

Di da da
Di da da
Da die ya ba da
