Give To The Cause

by Patrick Sky

on A Harvest Of Gentle Clang (1966), Love Sunshine & Hysteria (2018)

[Chorus]
Give to the cause, give us a share
Give to the cause, help make us a living

Give to the cause, can't you hear my prayer
Give just a sin or two
Yes, give to the cause, relinquish a share
To buy me a bottle of booze

[Chorus]

Well, give for TB, Cancer and Red Cross
Freedom it costs a dime
The blind need to see, help fight leprosy
And give to the men in the mines

Oh, give to the cause, overlook the flaws,
And give to the PTA
Help the doctors out, buy a Girl Scout
And give to the KKK

[Chorus]

Give to the cause, buy us a bomb,
To wipe out the enemy
Stand up and fight, for what you think is right
It'll cost you a buck-fifty

Give to the cause, ‘cause I am broke
Be charitable and give
Yes, give to the man, give whatever you can
Just give, give, give, give, give

[Chorus]
