I'm sorry, I'm a beast, I can't believe how I've behaved
I'm trying to restrain it, but it won't get in the cage
I try to keep it on a leash; don't know who is leading whom
Am I hard or am I soft, am I kind or am I cruel?
I'm not made for making smalltalk, I get buried by the words
I go for the extremes; for the blessing and the curse
Don't go encouraging these demons, cuz they're only getting worse
And sometimes I swear I like it even though it always hurts, so
Please, don't feed the bears.
Please, don't feed the bears.
They're only getting bigger, and they'll have you for their dinner,
If they catch you unawares
So please … don't feed … the bears.
There's a devil on my shoulder and it's growling in my brain
And the weight is like a boulder that I drag upon a chain
Oh, can you really blame me, trying to shake loose?
When it's always me here hanging 'tween the prison and the noose
I'm not trying to make excuses; no excuse for what I've done
And I know that it is useless, there's no way I could atone
But please don't think I'm callous, don't think that I don't care
But I do remember tellin' ya not to feed the bears so
Please, don't feed the bears.
Please, don't feed the bears.
They're only getting bigger, and they'll have you for their dinner,
If they catch you unawares
So please … don't feed … the bears.
(Instrumental)
Please, don't feed the bears.
Please, don't feed the bears.
They're only getting bigger, and they'll have you for their dinner,
If they catch you unawares
So please … don't feed … the bears!
