Skirmish: LET IT SLIDE (@corinnecurcio)Liner Notes
No music yet, it's too late at night to try. If someone's interested, please be my guest ;-)
Edit 18. September 24: Demo File added, but I would still love it, if somebody else put their music on it.
"Sleepaway Camp" is a 1983 American slasher film, which I haven't seen, but read its Wiki. I got the title assigned for the #movietitlechallenge and for once my song is actually related to the movie.
Thanks for @corinnecurcio 's skirmish 'Let it slide' which inspired me to sit down and write this song.

Lyrics
Sleepaway Camp
Chorus A:
They tell me to let it slide
They tell me to let it go
When people bully Angela
But they don't know, they don't know
Chorus B:
How all their words and laughs are crippling
Lost the father, lost the sibling
Pain goes on and on and on
Nothing's right when all is wrong
1. Verse:
An accident, a second one
And still the bullies have their fun
At the sleepaway camp
Then someone on his meanness chokes
No, these killings are no jokes
Someone is Angela's champ
Chorus A:
They tell me to let it slide
They tell me to let it go
When people bully Angela
But they don't know, they don't know
2. Verse:
Stabbed to death inside the shower
It seems the killer's really dour
Someone is Angela's champ
Teenagers and nasty kids
You can find here bits by bits
At the sleepaway camp
Chorus A+B:
They tell me to let it slide
They tell me to let it go
When people bully Angela
But they don't know, they don't know
How all their words and laughs are crippling
Lost the father, lost the sibling
Pain goes on and on and on
Nothing's right when all is wrong
Chorus B:
How all their words and laughs are crippling
Lost the father, lost the sibling
Pain goes on and on and on
Nothing's right when all is wrong
