People live their lives for you on tv
They say they're better than you and you agree
Another doctor's bill, another lawyer's bill
Another cute cheap thrill
You Know you love him, if you put him in youy will but
Who willl 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 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 forgot 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 it doesn't pay your bills
There are addictions to feed and there are mouths to pay
So you bargin with the devil, say you're ok 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, girl, 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
