Verse
D
Should I run or should I stand? It's an old debate
D
'Cause sometimes it's a bluff charge, and sometimes it ain't.
D
Can they run down hill? Can they climb a tree?
D
Maybe that's just black bears, I can't remember, hmm, let's see!
D
Should I shut up or should I shout And maybe try and scare him off?
D
Or will pretty much most anything I do just piss him off?
D
In the end it doesn't matter What you choose to do of course
