Slip Kid

1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8

I've got my clipboard, textbooks, lead me to the station

Yeah, I'm off to the Civil War

I've got my kit-bag, my heavy boots, I'm runnin' in the rain

Gonna run till my feet are raw

Slip kid, slip kid, second generation, I'm a soldier at 13

Slip kid, slip kid, realization, there's no easy way to be free

No easy way to be free

(It's a hard, hard world)

I left my doctor's prescription bungalow behind me

I left the door ajar

I left my vacuum flask full of hot tea and sugar

Left the keys right in my car

Slip kid, slip kid, second generation, only half-way up the tree

Slip kid, slip kid, I'm a relation, I'm a soldier at 63

No easy way to be free

(Slip kid, slip kid)

Keep away old man, you won't fool me

(Slip kid, slip kid)

You and your history won't rule me

(Slip kid)

You might've been a fighter but admit you failed

I'm not affected by your blackmail, you won't blackmail me

I've got my clipboard, textbooks, lead me to the station

Yeah, I'm off to the Civil War

I've got my kit-bag, my heavy boots, I'm runnin' in the rain

Gonna run till my feet are raw

Slip kid, slip kid, slip out of trouble

Slip over here and set me free

Slip kid, slip kid, second generation, you're slidin' down the hill like me

No easy way to be free

(No easy way to be free)

No easy way to be free

(No easy way to be free)

No easy way to be free

(No easy way to be free)

(No easy way to be free)

(No easy way to be free)

(No easy way to be free)...
