War Rugs Lyrics - Beauty Queen Sister - Indigo Girls

War rugs in the hallway, prayer rugs on the wall 

Who's walking tall? I should be kneeling 

Soldier girl, oh, soldier boy, tell me what to say 

When I see you at Christmas leave, tattooed and hazed 

Oh, we're all growing up together 

We're all making a mark on it 

We're all damning the consequences 

I want to understand the soul you have in there 

Young Egypt seized the moment and brought that bastard down 

You got technology and you've got archaeology 

We treated you like hunters until you kicked the goal 

Now we're claiming you for our team 'cause what do we know? 

Oh, we're all growing up together 

We're all watching the video 

We're all damning 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 growing up together 

We're all taking it pass or fail 

We're all damning the consequences 

I want to understand the soul it takes to stand 

For something bigger than myself
