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
