Lyrics

Bye Bye Big Bear (Demo)

If I just could say my peace, wouldn't that be nice?
If I had some clarity, wouldn't that suffice?
Baby, it's been coming for a long time
And it's the right time

Bye bye big bear
Bye bye big bear

When the sirens cease to wail
Will you miss the sound?
When the trucks don't shake your walls
Will you miss downtown?
Maybe not hearing crackheads scream all night
Will be alright

Bye bye big bear
Bye bye big bear

Bye bye mice and roaches
Bye bye evil neighbours
Bye bye powder dealers
Bye bye eighteen wheelers

Bye bye big bear
(Bye bye, bye bye, big bear, big bear)
Bye bye big bear
(Bye bye, bye bye, big bear, big bear, big bear, big bear, big bear)
