One True Cause

It's a football match,

When we pass the hat it's a break from the day to day,

We're the chosen few, but support

And you can march on our chosen way.

Simplify, O simplify, it's easier to say

One side is good and another is bad when the facts are far way

Chorus: We're fighting for the one true cause,

It's all that we have known,

All we say is there's one true way,

And that way is our own, me boys,

And that way is our own.

We're aided and abetted by the bogeymen

And the politicians too

Gas on the fire makes the flames burn higher

And all our dreams come true

Sharon recruits for the Hezbollah and Omagh for the Prods

Atavism lives and it rules the day

And we worship ancient gods.

History is a lovely word, it's power in disguise,

Handled well, we can hide the smell

When the smoke gets in your eyes

We'll raise a glass up to the past and toast to auld lang syne,

And power to the one true cause, which means to me and mine.

If I have Right upon my side and my rationale is sound

It might not matter all that much if you're six feet underground.

It might not matter what side I'm on or if what I say is true

One thing is for bloody sure, it's the other side from you.
