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).

The Cause Is Good
