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 can tell me what to do They have not the capacity to answer me What the world needs now is some answers to our problems We can't buy more time 'cause 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 no more Watched the scientists throw up their hands conceding progress will resolve it all Saw the manufactures of earth's debris ignore another Greenpeace call No one could tell me what to do No one had the ability to answer me What the world needs now is some accountability We can't buy more time 'cause 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 'cause 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
