jewel:
people living their lives for you on tv
they say they're better than you, and you agree
she says hold my calls for me and those cold
repore says
come here boy, there'snothin for free
another burger, another hot dog, some fries
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 in your will but
who will save your souls when it comes to the
babies now
who will save your souls after all those lies you
told
who will save your souls if you won't save your
own
we try to hustle them, try to bustle them, try to
cuss them
and the cops want someone to bust down on orleans
avenue, oh
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
and 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 souls when it comes to the
babies now
who will save your souls after all those lies you
told
and who will save your souls if you won't save
your own
jason:
now i'm relaxing this third verse without even
rehearsin
lacin up my converse and conjugatin all the verbs
it's always been my thing you know for better or
worse
to be a singer who blows rings around this
universe
now, now speakin on the topic of a curbside
prophet
everybody come to me they ask me how they can
unlock it
i say, shit, if this is all there is
it's justa fillin in the blanks like mad-libs
who will, oh, who will save your soul
who will save your soul if you can't save your own
jewel:
some are walking, some are talking, some are
stalking their kill
you got social security, but that don't pay bills
there's addictions to feed, there's mouths to pay
so you bargain with the devil, say you're ok today
say
that you love them, take their money and run
it's been swell, sweetheart, but it was just one
of those things
those strings, those flings, those strings, those
flings...
you gotta get out on the street go right now go
out and bust all of your butts
sho will save you souls when it comes to the
babies now
who will save you souls after all those lies that
you told, boy
who will save your soul if you won't save you own
