Lyrics

The Cause

[Verse 1]

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 makes you feel

[Refrain]

The cause, we're just doing it for the cause

[Verse 2]

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

'Cause you know what you know is right

And you feel what you can't ignore

And you try so hard to point the blame

Ashamed, what are we doing this for?

[Refrain]

The cause, we're just doing it for the cause

The cause, we're just doing it for the cause

[Bridge]

Open your eyes

Don't trust, these lies

What are we doing this for?

[Refrain]

The cause, we're just doing it for the cause

The cause, we're just doing it for the cause
