One True Cause - The Prodigals

It’s a football match

When we pass the hat it’s a break from the day to day

We’re the chosen few, but support

And you can march on our chosen way

Simplify, O simplify, it’s easier to say

One side is good and another is bad when the facts are far way

Chorus: We’re fighting for the one true cause

It’s all that we have known

All we say is there’s one true way

And that way is our own, me boys

And that way is our own

We’re aided and abetted by the bogeymen

And the politicians too

Gas on the fire makes the flames burn higher

And all our dreams come true

Sharon recruits for the Hezbollah and Omagh for the Prods

Atavism lives and it rules the day

And we worship ancient gods

History is a lovely word, it’s power in disguise

Handled well, we can hide the smell

When the smoke gets in your eyes

We’ll raise a glass up to the past and toast to auld lang syne

And power to the one true cause, which means to me and mine

If I have Right upon my side and my rationale is sound

It might not matter all that much if you’re six feet underground

It might not matter what side I’m on or if what I say is true

One thing is for bloody sure, it’s the other side from you
