Peter said to Paul "All those words that we wrote
Are just the rules of the game and the rules are the first to go"
But now talkin' to God is Laurel beggin' Hardy for a gun
I got a girl in the war, man I wonder what it is we done
Paul said to Peter "You gotta rock yourself a little harder,
Pretend the dove from above is a dragon and your feet are on fire"
And I got a girl in the war, Paul the only thing I know to do
Is turn up the music and pray that she makes it through
Because the keys to the kingdom got locked inside the kingdom
And the angels fly around in there, but we can't see them
And I got a girl in the war, Paul I know that they can hear me yell
If they can't find a way to help, they can go to Hell
If they can't find a way to help her, they can go to Hell
Paul said to Peter "You gotta rock yourself a little harder,
Pretend the dove from above is a dragon and your feet are on fire"
But I got a girl in the war, Paul her eyes are like champagne
They sparkle, bubble over, and in the morning all you got is rain
Sparkle, bubble over, and in the morning all you got is rain
They sparkle, bubble over, and in the morning all you got is rain
Are just the rules of the game and the rules are the first to go"
But now talkin' to God is Laurel beggin' Hardy for a gun
I got a girl in the war, man I wonder what it is we done
Paul said to Peter "You gotta rock yourself a little harder,
Pretend the dove from above is a dragon and your feet are on fire"
And I got a girl in the war, Paul the only thing I know to do
Is turn up the music and pray that she makes it through
Because the keys to the kingdom got locked inside the kingdom
And the angels fly around in there, but we can't see them
And I got a girl in the war, Paul I know that they can hear me yell
If they can't find a way to help, they can go to Hell
If they can't find a way to help her, they can go to Hell
Paul said to Peter "You gotta rock yourself a little harder,
Pretend the dove from above is a dragon and your feet are on fire"
But I got a girl in the war, Paul her eyes are like champagne
They sparkle, bubble over, and in the morning all you got is rain
Sparkle, bubble over, and in the morning all you got is rain
They sparkle, bubble over, and in the morning all you got is rain

Josh was just on NPR. The song is about what it say's. Peter and Paul are Republicans and Dem's bickering while a war is going on.
