War Rugs

War rugs in the hallway

Prayer rugs on the wall

Who's walkin' tall?

I should be kneelin'

Soldier girl, oh, soldier boy

Tell me what to say

When I see you at Christmas leave

Tattooed and hazed

Oh, we're all growin' up together

We're all makin' a mark on it

We're all damnin' the consequences

I want to understand

The soul you have in there

Young Egypt seized the moment

And brought that bastard down

You've got technology

And you've got archeology

We treated you like hunters

Until you kicked the goal

Now we're claimin' you for our team

'Cause what do we know?

Oh, we're all growin' up together

We're all watchin' the video

We're all damnin' the consequences

I want to understand

The soul you have in there

Soldier boy, oh, soldier girl

Tell me what to say

When I see you at Christmas leave

Oh, we're all growin' up together

We're all takin' it pass or fail

We're all damnin' the consequences

I want to understand

The soul it takes to stand

For something bigger than

Myself...
