Is it for the money? No, it isn't for the fun   It's a plan, a scam, a diagram   It's for the benefit of everyone   You gotta have a little respect   Subterranean ideals, traditional neglect   Reflect on how it makes you feel      The cause   We're just doing it for the cause      No, it isn't for the fortune, it isn't for the fame   It's a scheme, a dream, a barterine   We want everyone to think the same   Because you know what you know is right   And you feel what you can't ignore   And you try so hard to point the blame   A shame, what are we doin' this for?      The cause   We're just doing it for the cause   The cause   We're just doing it for the cause      Open your eyes, don't trust these lies   What are we doin' this for?      The cause   We're just doing it for the cause   The cause   We're just doing it for the cause
