Faith Alone

Heard a sermon from a creaky pulpit with no one in the nave,
I paid a visit to the synagogue and I left there feeling blame,

No one could tell me what to do,
They had not the capacity to answer me,

What the world needs now is some answers to our problems,
We can't buy more time because our tender isn't valid,
If your soul needs love you can get consoled by pity,
But it looks as though faith alone won't sustain us anymore,

Watched the scientists throw up their hands conceding,
'Progress will resolve it all,'
Saw the manufacturers of earth's debris ignore another green peace call,

No one could tell me what to do,
They had not the ability to answer me,

What the world needs now is some accountability,
We can't buy more time because time won't accept our money,
If your soul needs love you can always have my pity,
But it looks as though faith alone won't sustain us no more...

What the world needs now is some answers to our problems,
We can't buy more time because our tender isn't valid,
What the world needs now is some accountability,
If your soul needs love you can get consoled by pity,

But faith alone won't sustain us anymore,
Faith alone won't sustain us anymore (round, x infinity)
