about

Just Cause 1: “a standard to justify discipline or dismissal, any legally valid reason, or more generally, ‘justification’”
Just ‘Cause 2: “colloquial contraction of ‘just because’, meaning - no reason at all.”

lyrics

Just cause you're dark, it don't mean you're morose
But they scrubbed my knuckles till the dirt was exposed
Just cause...

Didn’t fall far, and it didn’t seem fair, but
They let me go, like I never was there, for
Just cause...

And just ‘cause the sun shines, don’t mean she’s aware
looking on all that we do.
And just ‘cause it’s written or out on the web
Oh, don’t you believe that it’s true.
Eventually everyone talks of beginnings, or
Endings, but they’re all the same.
A yellow moon’s rising, and I ain’t advising, and
Just cause is all that remains.

Just ‘cause you’re lonely, it don’t mean you’re alone
And love’s overrated, once overthrown
Just cause…

Just ‘cause you’re grinning, and a battering ram
It don’t mean you’re winning, and I don’t give a damn for
Just cause…

And just ‘cause the sun shines, don’t mean she’s aware
looking on all that we do.
And just ‘cause it’s written or out on the web
Oh, don’t you believe that it’s true.
Eventually everyone talks of beginnings, or
Endings, but they’re all the same.
A yellow moon’s rising, and I ain’t advising, and
Just cause is all that remains.

And just ‘cause the sun shines, don’t mean she’s aware
looking on all that we do.
And just ‘cause it’s written or out on the web
Oh, don’t you believe that it’s true.
Eventually everyone talks of beginnings, or
Endings, but they’re all the same.
A yellow moon’s rising, and I ain’t advising, and
Just cause is all that remains.

A yellow moon’s rising, and I ain’t advising, and
Just cause is all that remains.
