Selling Salvation

There’s an old man by the traffic light
Selling bibles to all who pass him by
He makes his money saving the souls of strangers
To get to heaven he knows you have to die
It’s so hard selling salvation
Though we all want to be saved
We’d all like to avoid damnation
Who is not depraved
Selling salvation, selling salvation
There’s a woman by the city park
Selling her body to all who want to buy
She makes her living selling her men salvation
It’s a hard life she can justify
It’s so hard selling salvation …
