The Cause Lyrics - New Model Army

Headline in the paper tells of fighting in the streets 

Teenage battles; six arrested 

Mutters in the council chambers, something must be done 

Before our city streets become infested 

And mummy turns to daddy says "where was our little boy that day 

Why can't he just stay at home and watch the silver screen" 

Ch: All we wanted was a cause that we could fight for 

One chance for the heroes to win the day 

All we wanted was a chance to see the world 

In black and white instead of a hundred shades of grey 

Watch the raving maniacs go carving up the night 

See the barmy smiles on their faces 

See the crazy bombers going cross their deadly wires 

Blow themselves into a million pieces 

The bands play it hard and fast go ripping through their sets 

Adrenaline going flowing drink and no regrets 

What do we tell our grandchildren 

When they ask us about the good old days 

Boring empty daytime jobs and frozen up inside 

Do you not remember what your daddy told you long ago 

God, how those old men used to fight
