Shoot the Bear Songtext
von The Strange

If I knew then what I know now
If I knew when the sun goes down
No bite, no bark, no fire, no pain
We′re taken for granted, but we're taking down names

The profiteers, well, they′re all ears
Waitin' for a verdict from a jury of their peers
Frontier justice and a kangaroo court
They're dividing the spoils and their killing for sport

Shoot the bear, he′s still out there
Shoot the bear, I′ve seen him in the clear
Better move before he rise
Never looked into his eyes

Shoot the bear, he's almost here
Shoot the bear, I see him in the clear
Better move before he rise
While we still got the element of surprise
Shoot the bear


Three in the clip, each one a trip
Keepin′ it focused, the target adrift
Blind man's bluff and a Simon says
Better off silent than a-bangin′ your head

Crowded at the bottom, manic at the top
Know everything we need to, plenty's been forgot
His hand shakin′, somethin' on his mind
Staggerin' like a drunkard, in and out of time

Shoot the bear, he′s still out there
Shoot the bear, I′ve seen him in the clear
Better move before he rise
Never looked into his eyes

Shoot the bear, he's almost here
Shoot the bear, I see him in the clear
Better move before he rise
While we still got the element of surprise
Shoot the bear

Shoot the bear
