Got some bad news this morning Which in turn made my day When this someone spoke I listened All of a sudden has less and less to say Oh how could this be All this time I lived vicariously Who's gonna save my soul now Who's gonna save my soul now How will my story ever be told now How will my story be told now Made me feel like somebody Like somebody else Although he was imitated often It felt like I was being myself This is a shame that someone else's song Was totally and completely depended on Who's gonna save my soul now Who's gonna save my soul now I wonder if I'll live to grow old now Getting high 'cause I feel so low down I may be just a little selfish All I have is the memory Yet I never start to wonder Was it possible you were hurting worse than me Still my hunger turns to greed 'Cause what about what I need, An' oh who's gonna save my soul now Who's gonna save my soul now Oh I know I'm out of control now Tired enough to lay my own soul down
