faith alone

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"
