The Cause Is Good

Scrape the mud off your boots and let's go home



Throw your gun in the dirt we're going home



They can't tell us what to do anymore



I'm sick of fighting their bloody war.



Take your mind off your brother lying there



Though he died for his flag he didn't care



In the morning light when the time drew nigh



I heard him pray "Lord



Don't let me die, don't let me die".



INSTRUMENTAL



We take the brunt of the argumental ways



An' it all rests on what the politician says



But he ain't lying here in the smell of blood



He's too busy shouting "The cause is good"



"The cause is good"



"The cause is good"



"The cause is good"



"The cause is good"



(Repeat and fade).
