Faith Alone
Bad Religion · All Ages
I paid a visit to the synagogue and I left there feeling blame,
No one can tell me what to do,
They have 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 manufactures 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...
Faith alone won't sustain us anymore
