Shit Creek
Dallas Crane Lyrics

I'm gonna run what's the point in all this
I'm going to escape from my current shitty situation because I see no purpose in continuing to stay.

I've seen it all now and I must admit
I have experienced everything and I acknowledge that it's not pleasant.

Being a beggar on an oily old rag, Is not a living for me
Living in poverty is unacceptable and not sustainable.

I'm starving hungry out of money and luck
I'm extremely hungry and broke with no good luck on my side.

I'd chew the ass off a low flying duck
I'm so desperate and hungry that I'd eat anything, even a duck that's flying low.

Protocol here is sodomy style greed
The way of life here is built on extreme selfishness and greed.

And it's a worry for me
I'm concerned about the negative impact that this way of living will have on me.

I'm not a member of the modern day
I don't conform to the current ways of living.

There's someone at it in the bed that I made
Someone else is now reaping the benefits of my hard work and efforts.

They drained the carat out of all the gold hearts
They have taken the goodness out of everything and everyone.

And now they're coming for me
Now they want to take away what little I have left.

Ain't nobody gonna see me cry
I won't show any signs of weakness or vulnerability to others.

I'll be long gone before it's time to die
I would rather die than continue living a life like this.

It's that, or join the material world soon
The only other option is to conform to the materialistic way of living.

Or they'll be comin' for me
If I don't conform, they will try to force me to.

And when I yawn it's because you spoiled my dream
If I seem disinterested or unenergetic, it's because you ruined my hopes and aspirations.

I was in nirvana dreaming all the right things
I was previously in a state of bliss, dreaming of a better life.

You came along when all the money runs dry
You only became interested in me when there was no more money left.

And point the finger at me
You blame me for your own shortcomings.

You haven't heard a single word that I've said
You refuse to listen to me or take my thoughts and opinions into consideration.

I know you'd rather see this little guy dead
You would rather see me suffer or even die than help me.

I sweep your litter and I hang up your coat
I do everything for you, including menial tasks that you should be responsible for.

There's noting in it for me
I gain nothing from fulfilling your needs and wants.

Sorry man I'm gonna have my way
I'm going to take control of my own life and do things my own way.

I wanna lie here in the bed that I made
I want to enjoy the fruits of my own labor and take responsibility for my actions.

Thank you porter I can take it from here
I am capable of handling things on my own, thank you for your help.

The early night is on me
I will pay for the drinks or whatever is needed since I'm now in a better position.

'Cause ain't nobody gonna see me down
I refuse to let anyone see me fail or falter.

I'm looking forward to when the time comes 'round
I can't wait until the time when I can show the world what I'm really capable of.

When being alive is being a human again
When life is not just about money and materialism, but about being human.

It's sentimental to me
This idea holds a lot of emotional value and importance to me.

It's hard to row in a creek of shit
It's difficult to succeed or make progress when everything around me is terrible and unfair.

Say goodbye now for the very last time
This is the final goodbye and the end of this chapter.

And take the paddle from me
I can't continue fighting anymore, so it's time for someone else to take over.

It's kind of sad we gotta end this way
It's disappointing that this situation couldn't be resolved in a more positive way.

I'm starting over in a brand new day
I'm beginning a new chapter of my life with a fresh perspective and attitude.

I burn a candle for the friends that I made
I cherish the friendships I have made and keep them in my thoughts.

See you round, maybe in heaven some time
We may meet again one day, even if it's in the afterlife.

Don't put your money on me
Don't count on me to conform or do what's expected of me.

Twenty five is not a time to die
I'm too young to give up on life and die.

Mothership's got her boarding hatch down
It's time for me to leave and embark on a new journey.

And she's waiting on me
My new opportunity or adventure is patiently waiting for me.
