Slip Kid

[Intro]

(One, two, three, four)

(Five, six, stay intact)

[Verse 1]

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 running in the rain

Going to run 'til my feet are raw

[Chorus 1]

Slip kid, slip kid, second generation

I'm a soldier at thirteen

Slip kid, slip kid, realization

There's no easy way to be free

No easy way to be free

[Verse 2]

(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

[Chorus 2]

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 sixty-three

No easy way to be free

[Bridge]

(Slip kid, slip kid)

Keep away, old man (Slip kid)

You won't fool me

You and your history (Slip kid)

Won't rule me

You might've been a fighter (Slip kid)

But admit you failed

I'm not affected by your blackmail

You won't blackmail me

[Verse 3]

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 running in the rain

Going to run 'til my feet are raw

[Chorus 3]

Slip kid, slip kid, slip out of trouble

Slip over here and set me free

Slip kid, slip kid, second generation

You're sliding down the hill like me

[Outro]

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...
