We're all in one frame of mind
To smoothly flow upstream with time
Caught in the middle without a paddle
We've become quite the gaggle
With the water rising high
No way of stopping till the day we die
Can't you see, believe you me
We're all up the creek

So you best hold on to all you own
Finding out, in the end, it was just a loan
Cause nothing is as it seems
The further that you get upstream
You can moan and groan for all you know
There's no way to stop the flow
Hoping to get by with just a squeak
We're all up the creek

How many of us want to just let go
Get pulled out by the undertow
Halfway through this life
And still no paddle within sight
Where's the promise, where's the hope
Where's the life in stories told
As far as I can see
We're all up the creek
