Heard a sermon from a creaky pul pit 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 '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 manufacturers of earth's debris ignore another green peace 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 [to fade]
