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
