People living their lives for you on TV |

They say they're better than you and you agree |

He says hold my calls |
C |
from behind those covered crosses |
G D |
come here boy... there ain't nothing for free |
Am C G |
Another doctor's bill, a lawyer's bill |
D |
Another cute cheap thrill, |

Who will save your soul |
D Am |

Who will save your soul |

Who will save your soul if you won't save your own? |

Am |
We try to hustle them, |
C |
try to bustle them, try to cuss them |
G |
The cops want someone |
D |
to bust down on Orleans Avenue |
Am C |
Another day, another dollar, another war, |
G |
another tower went up |
D |
to where the homeless had their homes |
Am C |
So we pray to as many different gods are there are |
G D |
flowers but we call religion our friend |
Am C |
We're so worried about saving our souls |
G |
Afraid that God will take |
D |
His toll that we forget to begin |
Repeat Chorus |
Am |
Some are walking, some are talking, |
C |
some are stalking their |
G |
kill... you get social security, |
D |
but it doesn't pay your bills |
Am |
There are addictions to feed |
C |
and there are mouths to pay |
G |
So you bargain with the Devil, |
D |
say you're o.k. for today, |
Am |
You say that you love them, |
C |
take their money and run |
G |
Say, it's been swell, sweetheart, |
D |
but it was just one of those |
Am |
things, those flings, |
C |
those strings you've got to cut, |
G |
So get out on the streets, |
D |
girls, and bust your butts. |
