I demand lyrics in the cover art to CDs

I never thought this would be a serious issue for me, but it is. Some of you will know that I love The Get Up Kids. Go Missouri-bred bands, there are so few of you.

So here's the issue, they didn't have their lyrics in the cover art for the CD. I can look up the lyrics online, but those people are just transcribing what they hear half the time anyway. They don't know. So here's the line that's troubling me:
"Blind faith doesn't make a sale"
or is it:
"Blind faith doesn't make a sail"?

Logic leans toward the first, but a case could be made for the second as well. It's a little more metaphorical, but the whole song is a collection of one line metaphors and imagery so there's no real reason that that couldn't be the case.

Fucking homonyms.
