Shit Creek

Some say he's up shit creek Dusted on crack, coke and tweak He aging ten years every week He stood still and never ran Looking for himself in that garbage can Left with opportunities blown The company he keeps leaves him all alone No cure and no way to heal A forgettable past and a bad deal He gave up on himself, they gave up on him He's up shit creek and doesn't know how to swim Throwing away that paddle in your hand He's up shit creek, his life didn't go as planned Some look to yesterday, 'cause tomorrow looks too bleak That's what happens when you're living on shit creek A life he didn't ask for, a life he didn't choose I leave him alone, 'cause he's got nothing left to lose Letters to himself he keeps on writing Refusing to live but he keeps on fighting You can see some of yourself in him When you're up shit creek will you know how to swim?
