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
(Solo)
No one could tell me what to do
They had not the ability 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
What the world needs now is some accountability
But faith alone won't sustain us anymore
But faith alone won't sustain us anymore
Faith alone won't sustain us anymore
Faith alone won't sustain us anymore
