WAR RUGS (words and music by Amy Ray)
---------
capo on 4th fret. standard tuning
War rugs in the hallway
Prayer rugs on the wall
Who s walkin tall?
I should be kneelin
[Bridge]
Soldier girl, oh, soldier boy
Tell me what to say
When I see you at Christmas leave
Tattooed and hazed
[Chorus]
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
[Instrumental Interlude]
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...
