Slapstick Kids Lyrics

Fifteen, at school, staring at the clock

Anxious, waiting for the bell to go off

I can't stand this uniform

Shirt tucked

Clean hair so you fit the norm

After school, turn the radio to KROQ

Blink songs when they were Travis, Mark, & Tom

Skateboards to pavement

A neighborhood that we felt safe in

Spray paint our names on the sidewalk

All the neighbors running out yelling at us to stop

One day, we will all get old

Make a lot of noise and witness everything unfold

Go astray but don't betray

Summer days & alley ways

Place to place like stowaways

Delinquents dressed like slapstick kids

Twenty-seven, at work, staring at the clock

Anxious, waiting for my time to get off

I can't stand this shirt and tie

Neat pants, nice shoes

And know when to lie

After work, you can find me drinking at the bar

Two drinks then I'm walking home under the stars

I'm living life in the deep end

In a society where truth is paper thin

Spray paint our names on the sidewalk

All the neighbors running out yelling at us to stop

One day, we will all get old

Make a lot of noise and witness everything unfold

Go astray but don't betray

Summer days & alley ways

Place to place like stowaways

Delinquents dressed like slapstick kids

Go astray but don't betray

Summer days & alley ways

Place to place like stowaways

Delinquents dressed like slapstick kids
