The Cause Is Good Lyrics - Clifford T Ward

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).
