Lyrics

"Common Cause"
(Lyrics - M. Novak & C. Webster Music - M. Novak)

When the truth is seen by a bunch of folks
The opposition’s stance is but a hoax
When the quality of life is ignored for gain
Killing the status quo won’t take the blame
Their greed and ego mocks the law
By any metric their reasons are flawed

CHORUS:
When the truth is seen by a bunch of folks it’s a Common Cause
When leaders are chosen regardless of corruption it’s a Common Cause
Common sense and knowledge creates a Common Cause
Injustice and a lack of morals creates a Common Cause


When leaders are chosen regardless of corruption
Business leaders demand a tax reduction
Favors are given to incompetent backers
Using harassment to encourage attackers.
Their lack of knowledge in making decisions
Their goals designed to make deeper divisions


Who is most affected by the greed of the elite
Their lust for power and money is never complete
We all lose in this battle against the overlords
Corrupting the laws they reap the rewards
The environment, the neighborhoods, pocketbooks and trust
All are damaged and we are left to adjust.

CHORUS:

Who gains from the disparity of decisions
Their divisive message causes the chasm in visions
The politicians, CEOs, and developers
Not caring for the folks just food for the predators
They see morals as a personal flaw
Showing their contempt and ignoring the law


So what can be done to right this ship
Get the truth out that destroys their script
A grassroots movement to magnify what’s true
Exposing their lies ensuring honesty endures
Win or lose there’s honor in the fight
Exposing corruption and lawlessness is our right.


CHORUS:
