Music & lyrics: john popper

Alan had always planned to be a doctor
Servicing mankind was really where it was
Working in small towns, he?s unhappy
So great a surgeon deserves some applause
In the name of a cause
In the name of a cause
In the name of a cause

Sylvia?s ashamed of her family
They love her a lot, but they never get it right
Marrying a millionaire?s mommy
Biding her time, she finally says goodnight
In the name of a cause
In the name of a cause
In the name of a cause

In the name of a cause
Effect has nothing to do with a cause
May we take a pause
For another cause

Bartholomew jones is quite crazy
Ruling men and nations; all of them at war
Braving conflict undaunted
Down to the last bit and not one minute before
In the name of a cause
In the name of a cause
In the name of a cause

Ideas are what you make them
