Intro: Am C G D
Am C G D
People living their lives for you on T.V. 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 him in your will but
Am C G D
Who will save your souls when it comes to the flowers now
Whoo-oo, who will save your souls after all those lies that you told, boy
And who will save your souls if you won't save your own?
Am C G D
La-di-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 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 souls when it comes to the veterans now
Whoo-oo, who will save your souls after all those lies that you told, boy
And who will save your souls if you won't save your own?
La-di-da...
Am C G D. (guitar does not play)
Some are walking, some are talking, some are stalking and kill 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, but you're OK for today, say
That you love me, 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
Am C G D Am C G D
Who will saaaa-ave yooooooooooooooooour
soul when it comes to the babies now?
Haa-aa, who will save your souls after all those lies that you told, boy
And who will save, save yooooooooooooour
soul if you won't save your own?
Ba-da-da...
