"Bye Bye Big Bear" lyrics

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 big bear
...
