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 bill
another lawyer 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 the powers now
who will save your soul
after all the lies that you told ......boy
who will save your soul
if you won't say 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
that 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
but we forget to begin but......
who will save your soul
when it comes to the powers 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
got social security
but that don't pay your bills
there are addictions to feed
and there are mouths to pay
so you bargin with the devil
say your ok for today
you say that you love them
take their money and run
say....its 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 powers now
who will save your soul
after all the lies you told.......boy
