[Intro | Bass Solo | Upbeat] [Verse 1 | Palm Muted Guitar | Building] Walking down the trail and I see a silhouette A shadow in the trees but I ain't sweating yet Because I did the math and the risk analysis And honestly the choice causes no paralysis One wants to maul me just to fill a belly The other one wants to explain Machiavelli [Pre-Chorus | Rising Drums | Snarky] It’s a simple question with a simple fact Only one of them doesn't have an act The bear won't lie to get what he wants He doesn't have a list of petty social taunts [Chorus | Explosive | Anthemic | Harmony] I pick the bear Yeah I pick the bear He might rip me open but he fights fair He won’t ask me to smile or ask about my dress He just wants a snack he doesn't want to impress He won’t gaslight me 'til I think I’m insane He’s just an apex predator looking for game Yeah I pick the bear At least he doesn't have a podcast on the air [Verse 2 | Driving Rhythm | Fast] The grizzly doesn't care about my body count He doesn't have an ego that I have to mount He won’t explain my job like I’m a total newb Or tell me I should smile like some kind of rube If I get eaten well at least it’s quick I don’t have to listen to a pick-up artist trick [Chorus | High Energy | Power Chords] I pick the bear Yeah I pick the bear He might rip me open but he fights fair He won’t dm me later saying "hey u up" He won’t drink from the carton or mess with my cup He won’t fake empathy just to get in my bed He’ll just tear the skin right off of my head Yeah I pick the bear It’s a cleaner interaction I swear [Bridge | Half-Time | Heavy Bass | Spoken Word Style] Some guy yells "Not all men!" from the back Well guess what buddy Not all bears attack But if I’m alone in the woods at night I’d rather fight claws than a gaslighting fight At least the bear doesn't explain Bitcoin to me [Guitar Break | No Solo | Chugging Riffs] [Chorus | Maximum Volume | Crowd Shout] I pick the bear Yeah I pick the bear He might rip me open but he fights fair He won’t track my location on his phone He won’t get angry if I want to be alone The bar is on the floor and it’s sad but true I’d rather face the beast than have a talk with you Yeah I pick the bear [Outro | Sudden Stop | Final Chord Hit] [Spoken] He looks fluffy anyway.
