My 2 cents is: Cause is of course short for 'because.' And because is typically an excuse. He merges excuses with causes. Fighting for a cause, "And give a medal to replace the son of Mrs. Annie Johnson" is an excuse and at what price. I feel this song writer says so much more than just hearts breaking. He is saying, 'wake up.'
