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
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 because time won't accept our money,
if your soul needs love you can always have my pity
