The Whores Hustle And The Hustlers Whore Lyrics - Pj Harvey

Speak to me of universal laws 

The whores hustle and the hustlers whore 

All around me people bleed 

Speak to me your song of greed 

Speak to me of your inner charm 

Of how you'll keep me safe from harm 

I don't think so, I don't see 

Speak to me of your inner peace, oh 

Little people at the amusement park 

City people in the dark 

Speak to us, send us a sign 

Just give us something to keep us trying 

And the whores hustle and the hustlers whore 

Too many people out of love 

The whores hustle and the hustlers whore 

This city's ripped right to the core 

Speak to me of heroin and speed 

Of genocide and suicide, of syphilis and greed 

Speak to me the language of love 

The language of violence, the language of the heart 

This isn't the first time I've asked for money or love 

Heaven and earth don't ever mean enough 

Speak to me of heroin and speed 

Just give me something I can believe 

The whores hustle and the hustlers whore 

Too many people out of love 

The whores hustle and the hustlers whore 

This city's ripped right to the core 

Oh, oh 

Oh, oh 

Oh, oh 

Oh, oh 

Oh, oh 

Oh, oh 

Oh, oh
