Lyrics
The Cause
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
Isn't for the money
No it isn't for the fun
It's a plan, a scam, a diagram
It's for the benefit of everyone
You gotta have a little respect
Subterranean ideals
Traditional neglect
Reflect on how it would make you feel
The cause- we're just doing it for the cause
No it isn't for the fortune,
It isn't for the fame
It's a scheme, a dream, a barterine
We want everyone to think the same
Because you know what you know is right
And you feel what you can't ignore
And you try so hard to point the blame
A shame- what are we doing this for?
The cause- we're just doing it for the cause
The cause- we're just doing it for the cause
Open, your eyes, don't trust, these lies
What are we doing this for?
The cause- we're just doing it for the cause
The cause- we're just doing it for the cause
