Lou Reed - Busload Of Faith



You can't depend on your family

you can't depend on your friends

You can't depend on a beginning

you can't depend on an end



You can't depend on intelligence

ooohhh, you can't depend on God

You can only depend on one thing

you need a busload of faith to get by, watch, baby



Busload of faith to get by

busload of faith to get by

Busload of faith to get by

you need a busload of faith to get by



You can depend on the worst always happening

you can depend on a murderer's drive

You can bet that if he rapes somebody

there'll be no trouble having a child



You can bet that if she aborts it

pro-lifers will attack her with rage

You can depend on the worst always happening

you need a busload of faith to get by, yeah



Busload of faith to get by

busload of faith to get by

Busload of faith to get by, baby

busload of faith to get by



You can't depend on the goodly hearted

the goodly hearted made lamp-shades and soap

You can't depend on the Sacrament

no Father, no Holy Ghost



You can't depend on any churches

unless there's real estate you want to buy

You can't depend on a lot of things

you need a busload of faith to get by, woh



Busload of faith to get by

busload of faith to get by

Busload of faith to get by

busload of faith to get by



You can't depend on no miracle

you can't depend on the air

You can't depend on a wise man

you can't find 'em because they're not there



You can depend on cruelty

crudity of thought and sound

You can depend on the worst always happening

you need a busload of faith to get by, ha



Busload of faith to get by

busload of faith to get by

Busload of faith to get by

busload of faith to get by
