Save Your Soul

[Verse 1]

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, a lawyer's bill

Another cute cheap thrill

You know you love him if you put in your will but

[Chorus]

Who will save your soul

When it comes to the flowers now?

Ah-ah, who will save your soul

After all the lies that you told, boy?

And who will save your souls

If you won't save your own?

[Verse 2]

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

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

[Chorus]

Who will save your soul

When it comes to the flowers now?

Ah-ah who will save your soul

After all the lies that you told, boy?

And who will save your souls

If you won't save your own?

[Verse 3]

Some are walking, some are talking, some are stalking and kill

You got social security, but it doesn't pay your bills

There are addictions to feed and there are mouths to pay

So we bargain with the devil, so evil, careful do they say

That you love them take your 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

[Chorus]

Who will save your soul

When it comes to the flowers now?

Ah, who will save your soul

After all the lies that you told, boy?

And who will save your soul

If you won't save your own?
