The Cause
The headline in the paper tells of fighting in the street,
'Teenage battle - 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?"

Chorus:
All we wanted was a cause that we could fight for;
One chance for the heroes to win the day,
All we wanted was the chance to see the world in black and white,
Instead of a hundred shades of grey.

See the raving maniacs go carving up the night,
Watch the barmy smiles on their faces,
See the crazy bombers go and cross the deadly wires,
And blow themselves into a million pieces,

And the band's playing hard and fast,
Go ripping through their sets,
Adrenaline - exceeded flow -
Change but no regrets,

Chorus

What do we tell our grandchildren when they ask us about the good old days?
Boring empty daytime jobs and frozen up insides,
Do you not remember what your daddy told you long ago?
God, how those old men used to fight!
