The Cause Is Good
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"
We take the brunt of the argumental ways
And 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"
"The cause is good"
