The Who - Slip Kid lyrics
SLIP KID
The Who
One, two, three, four, five, six, seven, eight ...
One, two, three, four, five, six, seven, eight ...
I?ve got my clipboard, text books
I?ve got my clipboard, text books
Lead me to the station
Lead me to the station
Yeah, I?m off to the civil war
Yeah, I?m off to the civil war
I?ve got my kit bag, my heavy boots
I?ve got my kit bag, my heavy boots
I?m runnin? in the rain
I?m runnin? in the rain
Gonna run till my feet are raw
Gonna run till my feet are raw
Slip kid, slip kid, second generation
Slip kid, slip kid, second generation
And I?m a soldier at thirteen
And I?m a soldier at thirteen
Slip kid, slip kid, realization
Slip kid, slip kid, realization
There?s no easy way to be free
There?s no easy way to be free
No easy way to be free
No easy way to be free
It?s a hard, hard world
It?s a hard, hard world
I left my doctor?s prescription bungalow behind me
I left my doctor?s prescription bungalow behind me
I left the door ajar
I left the door ajar
I left my vacuum flask
I left my vacuum flask
Full of hot tea and sugar
Full of hot tea and sugar
Left the keys right in my car
Left the keys right in my car
Slip kid, slip kid, second generation
Slip kid, slip kid, second generation
Only half way up the tree
Only half way up the tree
Slip kid, slip kid, I?m a relation
Slip kid, slip kid, I?m a relation
I?m a soldier at sixty-three
I?m a soldier at sixty-three
No easy way to be free
No easy way to be free
Slip kid, slip kid
Slip kid, slip kid
Keep away old man, you won?t fool me
Keep away old man, you won?t fool me
You and your history won?t rule me
You and your history won?t rule me
You might have been a fighter, but admit you failed
You might have been a fighter, but admit you failed
I?m not affected by your blackmail
I?m not affected by your blackmail
You won?t blackmail me
You won?t blackmail me
I?ve got my clipboard, text books
I?ve got my clipboard, text books
Lead me to the station
Lead me to the station
Yeah, I?m off to the civil war
Yeah, I?m off to the civil war
I?ve got my kit bag, my heavy boots
I?ve got my kit bag, my heavy boots
I?m runnin? in the rain
I?m runnin? in the rain
Gonna run till my feet are raw
Gonna run till my feet are raw
Slip kid, slip kid, slip out of trouble
Slip kid, slip kid, slip out of trouble
Slip over here and set me free
Slip over here and set me free
Slip kid, slip kid, second generation
Slip kid, slip kid, second generation
You?re slidin down the hill like me
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
