Music & lyrics: john popper
Alan had always planned to be a doctor
Servicing mankind was really where it was
Working in small towns, he's unhappy
So great a surgeon deserves some applause
In the name of a cause
In the name of a cause
In the name of a cause
Sylvia's ashamed of her family
They love her a lot, but they never get it right
Marrying a millionaire's mommy
Biding her time, she finally says goodnight
In the name of a cause
In the name of a cause
In the name of a cause
In the name of a cause
Effect has nothing to do with a cause
May we take a pause
For another cause
Bartholomew jones is quite crazy
Ruling men and nations; all of them at war
Braving conflict undaunted
Down to the last bit and not one minute before
In the name of a cause
In the name of a cause
In the name of a cause
Ideas are what you make them
