Who Will Save Your Soul (Unedited Master Take)

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 nothin' 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, but

Who will save your souls?

When it comes to the flowers now

Who, who will save your souls?

After all those lies that you told, boy

Now, who will save your souls?

If you won't save your own?

La-da-da-da, di-da-da

La-da, da, ya-da

We try to hustle 'em, try to bustle 'em, try to cuss 'em

The cops want someone to bust down on Orleans Avenue

Another day, another dollar, another war, another tower

Went up where the homeless had their homes

So we pray to as many different gods

As there are flowers, but we call religion our friend

We're so worried about savin' 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 beggars now

Who, who will save your souls?

After those lies that you told, boy

And who will save your souls?

If you won't save your own?

La-da-da-da, di-da-da

La-da, da, ya-da

Some are walkin', some are talkin', some are stalkin' their kill

Got 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, but you're okay for today

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 with a burden

Who, who will save your souls?

After all those lies that you told, boy

And who will save your soul?

If you won't save your own?
