Lyrics

Noble Cause

I wasted all my younger years trying to win some unwinnable war
There were wounded soldiers on the counter and bill collectors at the door
But through all my comic failures and through all my tragic flaws
I learned that love is still the only Noble Cause

We’ve reached the point where the Aidans and Braedens and Jaydens have all come of age
Oh we raised them up in the suburbs on chicken nuggets and video games
Now they’re chasing sex in the city and the sound of cheap applause
They’re learning love is still the only Noble Cause

My momma always taught me that I should keep a little open mind
But all my childhood buddies have fallen down deep into the “Great Partisan Divide”
But Jesus don’t care about your politics or if you cancel Santa Claus
He taught you love still the only Noble Cause

I never wanted to live without you but it all happened so fast
Not trying to look into the future through the cracked lens of the past
But of all the ancient scriptures and their old dogmatic laws
I think that love is still the only Noble Cause
I think that love is still the only Noble Cause
I think that love is still the only Noble Cause
