Propagandhi - Devil's Creek lyrics

Take me back to those sweltering summer days
Bike down the gravel road
To the creek outside the base

Sun on skinny arms chin on knobby knees
Squatting in the cool
Of the rotting of the reeds enveloping

No one here but me

Never understood the other kids
The adults even less so I hung out by myself
In a back road drainage ditch
I called it Devil's Creek
So it wouldn't seem so sad
When you can't have what you want
You learn to want what you have
These adaptive preferences
Have their way with you shape world events

In the wake of an ancient
Shallow late Cretaceous sea
This side of a clay
Packed extinction boundary
The biome breathing, buzzing
Humming in the heat
If I seem like I'm somewhere else
It's Devil's Creek
