One, two, three, four, five, six, seven, eight |
|
I've got my clipboard, text books, 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 |
|
And 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 |
|
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 sixty-three |
|
No easy way to be free |
|
(Slip kid) |
|
(Slip kid) |
|
Keep away old man, you won't fool me |
|
(Slip kid) |
|
You and your history won't rule me |
|
(Slip kid) |
|
You might have been a fighter, but admit you failed |
|
(Slip kid) |
|
I'm not affected by your blackmail, you won't blackmail me |
|
I've got my clipboard, text books, 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 |
|
