  • 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... Writer/s: AMY ELIZABETH RAY
