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
