Creek Tea
*~
This won't last forever
And It's not getting any better
I've chosen two alternatives
Two ways of how I plan to live
For now my main mission
Is to become a famed musician
I'll help save people's lives
And I'll make a change in this world
But if that doesn't all compile
I'll live down by the 18 mile
With a single bag of tea
That I'll recycle for eternity
I'll boil creek water
Over the burning fire
And I'll drink creek tea
For all eternity
I'll return bottles and cans
That I found in the garbage can
And if I can afford it
I'll buy some ramen from the supermarket
I'll cook it over the fire
In a pot with creek water
Ramen is a rich man's food
When you've got nothing to lose
And I would like for you to join me
So I don't have to be so lonely
We'll live alone together
Life doesn't get much better
We'll stay up all night
And we'll sing in the moonlight
There won't be such a thing as fright
Everything will be alright
