[Verse]
Though he was six-foot-four
And liked the outdoors
He always ran away
He spent his days inside
Watching ABC
While kissing his life goodbye
He wanted something more
Just a place inside
Where he could be alive
[Pre-Chorus]
And then he spent his days in bed
With a basket in his hands
And he said...
[Chorus]
"I don't care
Many more white guns lie outside this tent
I wanna stay inside, eating last night's fries
And playing the blues all night
I'm just a big old bear who wants to find
And gets afraid at night
So don't you mess with me, 'cause you'll surely see
A beast that's locked inside"
[Pre-Chorus]
So when you wrestle with this bear
You'll sure have learned what I hide
So take the key and let me die
Already six feet under the sky
And he said...
[Chorus]
"I don't care
Many more white guns lie outside this tent
I wanna stay inside, eating last night's fries
And playing the blues all night
I'm just a big old bear who wants to find
And gets afraid at night
So don't you mess with me, 'cause you'll surely see
A beast that's locked inside"
