the cause

• new model army'nin 1988'de piyasaya çıkan radio sessions albümünden bir şarkı. sözleri:
  
  headline in the paper tells of fighting in the streets
  teenage battles; 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"
  
  ch: all we wanted was a cause that we could fight for
  one chance for the heroes to win the day
  all we wanted was a chance to see the world
  in black and white instead of a hundred shades of grey
  
  watch the raving maniacs go carving up the night
  see the barmy smiles on their faces
  see the crazy bombers going cross their deadly wires
  blow themselves into a million pieces
  the bands play it hard and fast go ripping through their sets
  adrenaline going flowing drink and no regrets
  what do we tell our grandchildren
  when they ask us about the good old days
  boring empty daytime jobs and frozen up inside
  do you not remember what your daddy told you long ago
  god, how those old men used to fight
