Bears & Wolves

You don't know fear 'til it's calling from behind

And the streets that are familiar seem to stretch out at night

They dragged her to the woods, they couldn't leave Anne on her own

And the press paraded pictures of a dead Marilyn Monroe

And I will always choose the bear

I will always choose the wolves

No matter what they do, they wouldn't blame my clothes

I would rather choose to die

Let my body decompose

'Cause even when you're ash, they will never let you go, no

Ba-ba-di-ba, aah

Careful of the stranger, a face you've never met

You've seen them in your churches

They're sleeping in your beds

And history will teach you, they were all such willing wives

Sacagawea was a child when her body lost its rights

I will always choose the bear

I will always choose the wolves

No matter what they do, they wouldn't blame my clothes

I would rather choose to die

Let my body decompose

'Cause even when you're ash, they will never let you go

The waves, let them take me

The walls, let them fall

It may not be many, but enough to doubt them all

And when I tell the beasts all the things you would do

They would cry as well, and fear you too

I will always choose the bear

I will always choose the wolves

No matter what they do, they wouldn't blame my clothes

I would rather choose to die

Let my body decompose

'Cause even when you're ash, they will never let you go

I will always choose the bear

I will always choose the wolves

No matter what they do, they wouldn't blame my clothes

I would rather choose to die

Let my body decompose

'Cause even when you're ash, they will never let you go

'Cause even when you're ash, they will never let you go, no
