Bad Religion Follow

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
no one had 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
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 manufactures of earth's debris
ignore another green peace call

no one could tell me what to do
they had not the capacity 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
