Bear Food

Post by king_arthur »

Back in the day, nobody
Expected you could raise a family
Working at the Burger King

You could save up to buy yourself a new stereo
Put a tank of gas in the GTO,
But it was just a teenage thing.

Now it's the only job that I can get
I been trying to advance, but... not yet.

So I bear food to your table
I bear food to your booth
But they're lying when they say you can live like this,
And it's time we started tellin' the truth...

It's the twenty-first century
Too many people in poverty
Starin' up at those arches of gold.

Meanwhile the fat cat CEO
Sittin' in his office, countin' the dough
That he's made from the Macs I've sold.

He'll tells me I don't have to live like a slob;
Just get a second job, but meanwhile

I bear food to your table
I bear food to your booth
But they're lying when they say you can live like this,
And it's time we started tellin' the truth...

I know you like your Value Menu
Your Value Coke, your Value Fries
But the woman who just handed you your three dollar dinner,
She's the one who's payin' the price

(some instrumental space)

You drive up to my window in your big Cadillac
You hand me a hundred and get ninety-six back

Well, I bear food to the drive through
I bear food to your booth
But they're lying when they say you can live on this,
And it's time we started tellin' the truth...

Bear Food
words and music by glennny

Verse1
We needed some time alone.
Just the two of us and Mr. Blue Sky
And when we got there
The rain came down all around
Looks like there was a mud slide
And the access road is all blocked off
Looks like we’ll be stuck here for a while
Don’t you worry, don’t you worry
I was totally almost an eagle scout in my youth

Chorus
I looked into the eye of the grizzly
I didn’t know what else to do
I wish you didn’t call me “Honey”
That made me feel like bear food
In a panic, I started to breakdance
Just to try and make it confused
Hopefully I looked less like bear food

Verse2
And then he just let me go
I guess that bear is kind of a nice guy
And then we heard the sound of another bear
Coming towards us from over there
Looks like we’re in another pickle
Death is over there sharpening his sickle
Will we have the dance moves to survive?
Don’t you worry, don’t you worry
I can finally put my capoeira lessons to good use

Chorus

MANIC PIXEL DREAM GIRLS
{DJ RANGER DEN (arrg.) and FKMUSE (lyrics, vox) featuring JAK BANJO (vox)}

(Jellystone … things just got real)

bears eat fishes (and)
genies that grant wishes
look out for magic bears,
not the kind that care.
the kind that tell their tale on their shirts
and steal picnic baskets while their partner flirts.

Jellystone... (shit just got real)
(just stay home …)

gummy beary juice
time for a boy named Bruce.
That's right Batman be stoppin' bears
from gettin' unicorn meat and starlight mousse
-Cause that's what bears love to eat..

Jellystone... just outside Gotham

-his batterang just come loose.

(Jellystone… just outside gotham)

bears eat food its true.
just be thankful it's not you.
Unless you're a magical being
...then we're sorry
we'll try to send you a glittery lorry.

(Jellystone … just got real)
Jellystone.... just stay home...

Well, Mark called Rob
Let's go huntin'
Let's make a trip out to the woods
We'll bag a deer
Or maybe two
And reinforce hour manhood

So they loaded up
A rented pick-up truck
With great big wheels and chrome exhaust
And hours later
Stomping in the woods
They had to admit they were lost

They're gonna be bear food tonight
Lost out in the sticks
They're gonna be bear food tonight
A caniform picnic

Every hidden noise
That slips out at night
Sounds like a bear running 'round
'Cause out in nature
you're closer to God
You pray that you will be found

They're gonna be bear food tonight
Lost out in the sticks
They're gonna be bear food tonight
A caniform picnic
