LYRICS
by The Freedom Toast
Slip-sliding away
Slip-sliding away
You know, the nearer the inauguration
The more you're slip-sliding away.
I know a man,
he comes from New York town.
He thinks that Fox News gave him the right to wear a crown.
He cries, “Ivanka, I have great fear
,
“The vote for Biden was overpowering
I don’t know how to make it disappear."
Slip-sliding away
Slip-sliding away
You know, the nearer the inauguration
The more you're slip-sliding away.
Slip-sliding away,
slip-sliding away
He met a woman,
made her his wife
.
And then she found to her dismay that he was in her life
.
She said, “a good day, he’s not around.”
She said, “a bad day’s when he’s very close
.
And I am warned that I should not make a sound.”
Slip-sliding away
Slip-sliding away
You know, the nearer the inauguration
The more you're slip-sliding away.
And just like father,
there’s the son.
He longed to tell him all the reasons he’s not number one.
He thought a long time how to explain.
He said, “the kid will never get it,”
Then he turned around and tweeted once more again.
Slip-sliding away
Slip-sliding away
You know, the nearer the inauguration
The more you're slip-sliding away.
Now Pence thought he knows
when Trump makes his plan.
Well, he found out at the Capitol when it hit the fan.
We’re losing our jobs,
we lose our pay
.
And even Georgia told him "Get lost"
So they don't go slip-sliding away.
Slip-sliding away
Slip-sliding away
You know, we chose to save our nation
not send it slip-sliding away.
Slip-sliding away
Slip-sliding away
You know, we chose to save our nation
not send it slip-sliding away.
About the Original Song
"Slip Slidin' Away" is a 1977 song written and recorded by Paul Simon which appears on his compilation album Greatest Hits, Etc. It was one of two new songs to appear on the album, the other being "Stranded in a Limousine". Backing vocals on the song are provided by The Oak Ridge Boys. The song was originally recorded and considered for Simon's 1975 album, Still Crazy After All These Years, but Simon decided not to include the song on the finished album. A demo version appears on the 2004 re-issue of the album.The song was also included on Negotiations and Love Songs (1988).
Billboard Magazine found the melody to be "catchy" and the lyrics to be "sensitive. thoughtful. melancholic and evocative."
"Slip Slidin' Away" was released as a single in October 1977 and became a major hit, peaking at No. 5 on the Billboard Pop Singles chart. The song eventually became a hit at both Simon's solo concerts and Simon & Garfunkel concerts.
