[Verse 1]
People livin' their lives for you on TV
They say they're better than you and you agree
She says, "Hold my calls from behind those cold brick walls"
Says, "Come here, boy, there ain't nothing for free"
Another burger, another hotdog, fries
And you wish in the well, hope your health don't go to Hell
Well, another doctor's bill, a lawyer's bill, another cute cheap thrill
You know you love him if you put him in your will

[Chorus]
But who will save your soul when it comes to the baby?
Who, but who will save your soul, those lies that you told, boy? Uh
And who will save your soul if you won't save your own?
La dee-dee-da, dee-da, dee-da-da

[Verse 2]
We try to hustle 'em, try to bustle 'em, try to cuss 'em and the cops want someone to bust down on Orleans Avenue
Another doctor's bill, a lawyers bill, another tower went up, oh 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
But we're so worried about saving our souls, afraid that God will take His toll that we forget to begin, but

[Chorus]
But who will save your souls when it comes to the baby?
Who, but who will save your soul, those lies that you told, boy? Uh
And who will save your souls if you won't save your own?
La dee-dee-da, dee-da, dee-da-da, la-da-da
[Verse 3]
Some are walking, some are talking, some are stalking their kill
You got social security but that don't pay your bills
There's addictions to feed, there's 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
It's been swell, sweetheart, but it was one
Of those things, those flings, those strings you've got to cut
So get out on the streets, girls, and bust your butts

[Chorus]
Who will save your soul when it comes to the baby?
Who, who will save your soul, those lies that you told, boy?
And who will save your soul if you won't save your own? Oh
But who will save-ave your soul if you won't save your own?

[Outro]
Thank you and goodnight
