lyrics
well I was tired of being tired
and i was wired of being wired
so i slipped out the back door
the front was always blocked
where smokers smoked and gawkers gawked
so i just slipped out the back door
and i know it wasn't right
but i couldn't keep up the fight
so i just slipped out the back door
i slipped out the back door
couldn't take it no more
well the walls were caving in
and my ear was turning tin
so i just slipped out the back door
the phone it rang and rang
but i just had to do my own thing
so i slipped out the back door
and i know i burned it down
but my smile turned upside-down
when i slipped out the back door
just slipped out the back door
had to say "no more"
well the days, they came and went
and my money got all spent
so I just slipped out the back door
my brain begin to rust
and i was chokin' on the dust
so i just slipped out the back door
and you can ask around
but i'll be nowhere to be found
'cause i slipped out the back door
just slipped out the back door
that's what it's there for
and i was wired of being wired
so i slipped out the back door
the front was always blocked
where smokers smoked and gawkers gawked
so i just slipped out the back door
and i know it wasn't right
but i couldn't keep up the fight
so i just slipped out the back door
i slipped out the back door
couldn't take it no more
well the walls were caving in
and my ear was turning tin
so i just slipped out the back door
the phone it rang and rang
but i just had to do my own thing
so i slipped out the back door
and i know i burned it down
but my smile turned upside-down
when i slipped out the back door
just slipped out the back door
had to say "no more"
well the days, they came and went
and my money got all spent
so I just slipped out the back door
my brain begin to rust
and i was chokin' on the dust
so i just slipped out the back door
and you can ask around
but i'll be nowhere to be found
'cause i slipped out the back door
just slipped out the back door
that's what it's there for
