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