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 covered crosses

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

CHROUS: Who will save your soul when it comes to the flower

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 to where the homeless had their homes

So we pray to as many different gods are 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

CHROUS

Interlude

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

kill... you get social security, but it doesn't pay your bills

There are addictions to feed and there are mouths to pay

So you bargain with the Devil, say you're o.k. 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, girls, and bust your butts.
