Title: Bear One-Forty-Two
(said in a deep growling voice)
"Play the song"
(crowd cheers!)
"Play the song!"
(crowd is louder)
"I'm not askin'"
(crowd cheering)
(Heavy guitar intro, drums building, crowd chants: "HEY! HEY!")
"I'M NOT ASKIN'"
Verse 1
Born in the cold white laboratory light
Steel cages, shadows, dead of the night
Voices in his head, little cubs cryin' loud
Father killed the lights, left him lost in the crowd
Then the sky split open with a thunder and flame
Mercs hit the station and what a shame
A woman looked down through the smoke and the fire
Said, "Come on little Bear, let's get out of this wire"
Pre-Chorus
Raised on starships, prosperous dreams
Old Earth movies and Hard rockin' screams!
(crowd cheers)
Chorus
BEAR ONE FORTY-TWO!
Never learned another name
BEAR ONE FORTY-TWO!
Fight first, ask later, bring the pain
Steel claws, hard roads, engines burnin' blue
When you see trouble runnin'—
behind them is BEAR ONE FORTY-TWO!
(crowd goes crazy cheering)
Verse 2
Coffee in his paw and artillery heat
Walks into the room like he owns the street
Talk big, stand tall, let 'em all take aim
Keeps the crew alive while he's takin' all the blame
He says he don't care, says he's hard as stone
Says he works better out here alone
Then a child starts cryin' and he looks away
Like there ain't old ghosts that still wanna stay
Pre-Chorus
Big teeth, loud guns, armor and scars
Still remembers staring out prison bars
(crowd cheers)
Chorus
BEAR ONE FORTY-TWO!
Never learned another name
BEAR ONE FORTY-TWO!
Fight first, ask later, bring the pain
Steel claws, hard roads, engines burnin' blue
When you see trouble runnin'—
behind them is BEAR ONE FORTY-TWO!
(crowd cheers loud and crazy)
Bridge (half-time drums, slower)
Mother said, "Keep movin'"
Mother said, "Don't break"
But every road he followed
Led to something people take
Now he's standing in the fire
And the whole damn world can see
"You wanna get to them..."
(Crowd chants loud "You gotta come through me.")
"YEAH! YEAH!
Final Chorus (bigger, gang vocals)
BEAR ONE FORTY-TWO!
Hear the engines scream his name
BEAR ONE FORTY-TWO!
No rules left and no one left to blame
Steel claws, hard roads, stars are burnin' through
When hell comes callin'—
Hell gets BEAR ONE FORTY-TWO!
(crowd cheers loud)
(Guitar solo)
"Your head would fit perfectly in my mouth..."
(crowd cheers)
Outro
guitar squeal / drums end
"WHERE"S THE COFFEE!"
"WHY IS EVERYONE TRYING TO PISS ME OFF?!"
(Crowd cheers extremely loud)
