Lyrics :
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 burger, another hot dog, some fries
A wish in the well, hope your health don't go to hell, well
Another doctor's bill, another lawyer's 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 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?

We try to hustle them, try to bustle 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 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
if we forget to begin

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?

Some are walking, some are talking, some are stalking their kill
You get social security, but that don't pay your bills`
There are addictions to feed and there are mouths to pay
So you bargain with the Devil, say 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?

listen to the lyrics. she talks about addicts and users and liars. its not really about religion. its more about saving yourself by "cleaning up your act" so you have better life.

we gotta all save ourselves from a shitty life instead of looking for some god to do it. That's her message.

[Helixx1]

[Lagreen78]

lol. that is literally the first time ive ever heard anyone say anything like this.... and if you run down the comments for ANY of her videos you'll see nothing but praise for her beauty, and for her singing. even for those not a fan of her music most consider her to be exceptional when it comes to singing ability and voice. get your ears checked.

[wrsawy1]

you know if jewel would just not sing and just let people take pictures of her,,, whe would be great.... her singing is so average.

[wornoutcowboy]

Great posing here. I haven't heard this version before. It is one of my favorite songs regarding taking our lives into our own hands and forgettiing that there is no almighty God out there waiting for us.

[Kroppslotion83]
