Just 'Cause
Unmasking the Shallow Crusade: The Scoffs' Just 'Cause Revels in Deceptive Activism
Lyrics
Oh you're so educated there's nothing left to learn
Expressing sarcasm about someone's perceived level of education, suggesting they believe they know everything.
Your words pontificated but they're never heard
Highlighting that despite speaking confidently, the person's words go unnoticed or ignored.
Never met a cause celebré that you can't embrace
Mocking the individual for readily supporting popular causes without genuine commitment.
You can scream out bloody murder 'til you're blue in the face
Criticizing the person's excessive and ineffective expression of outrage or protest.
C'mon and join a cause
Encouraging the person to join a cause as a form of validation or social acceptance.
To show that you belong
Emphasizing the importance of fitting in by participating in a cause.
C'mon and join a cause
Reiterating the call to join a cause for the sake of belonging.
Just 'cause
Suggesting that joining a cause is done without a genuine reason or conviction, just for the sake of it.
Equal rights might equal likes on your social media feed
Commenting on the superficial nature of supporting equal rights only for social media popularity.
But you'd watch your city burn from your tv screen
Criticizing the person for being indifferent to real-life issues, observing them from a distance.
Your passion lacks conviction in reality
Pointing out the lack of genuine passion and commitment in the person's actions.
Can't you spare a dime to feed just one american dream
Questioning the person's willingness to contribute to a meaningful cause, especially in helping others.
C'mon and join a cause
Repeating the call to join a cause as a means of fitting in.
To show that you belong
Reemphasizing the importance of participating in a cause for social acceptance.
C'mon and join a cause
Encouraging participation in a cause without a specific purpose, just for the sake of it.
J-J-J-J-J-Just 'cause
Using repetition to underscore the arbitrary nature of joining causes without conviction.
C'mon and join a cause
Repeating the call to join a cause for the purpose of belonging.
To show that you belong
Reiterating the idea that joining a cause is a way to be part of a group without deep commitment.
C'mon and join a cause
Emphasizing the repeated call to join a cause without a specific reason.
Just 'cause
Summarizing the theme, suggesting that joining causes is done without genuine motivation or conviction, simply 'just because.'
