People living their lives for you on TVThey say they're better than you, and you agreeHe says, "Hold my calls from behind those cold brick walls"Says, "Come here boy, there ain't nothin' for free"
Another doctor's bill, a lawyer's billAnother cute, cheap thrillYou know you love himIf you put him in your will, but
Who will save your souls?When it comes to the flowers nowWho will save your souls?After all those lies that you told, boyNow, who will save your souls?If you won't save your own?
We try to hustle 'em, try to bustle 'emTry to cuss 'emThe cops want someoneTo bust down on Orleans Avenue
Another day, another dollarAnother war, another towerWent up where the homeless had their homesSo we pray to as many different godsAs there are flowers
But we call religion our friendWe're so worried about savin' our soulsAfraid that God will take His tollThat we forget to begin, but
Who will save your souls?When it comes to the beggars nowWho will save your souls?After those lies that you told, boyAnd who will save your souls?If you won't save your own?
Some are walkin', some are talkin'Some are stalkin' their killGot Social SecurityBut it doesn't pay your bills
There are addictions to feedAnd there are mouths to paySo you bargain with the DevilBut you're okay for todaySay that you love themTake their money and run
And say, "It's been swell, sweetheartBut it was just one of those things"Those flings, those strings you've got to cutSo get out on the streets, girls, and bust your butts
Who will save your soul?When it comes with a burdenWho will save your souls?After all those lies that you told, boyAnd who will save your soul?If you won't save your own?
I tell you about thatBuy your time, just buy your time
