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
