Who Will Save Your Soul

Jewel


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 boy, there ain't nothing for free 
Another doctor's bill, a 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 to the powers now 
Who will save your souls after all the lies that you told, boy 
Who will save your souls if you won't save your own? 
We try to hustle them, try to bust 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 but 
Who will save your soul when it comes to the flowers now 
Who will save your soul after all of those 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 Aunt Carol
got social security, but that doesn't pay your bills 
There are addictions to feed and there are mouths to pay 
So you bargain with the Devil, that 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
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?
