The Purple Bear Lyrics
enter the fool
swimming in a child proof pool
the cameraman says that your looking so cool
we had to rent a school bus stuffed with sand
it's only gonna cost you a hundred grand
your friends are in the background
and they're dancing well
and everybody hopes that the concept will sell
when i give the signal start eating dirt
sing into a shovel
and takeoff your shirt
let's go shopping in a posh boutique
wear out more clothes then you wear in a week
but they can't see your face if you're looking down
and it's gonna look bad if they've been jumping around
run slowly down the road
think of a war starting when the fireworks explode
walk into the church, start to confess
now turn and face the priest
he's wearing a dress
your friends are in the background
and they're dancing great
we have to wrap it up now
it's getting kinda late
so this is where you wrestle with the purple bear
and your gonna have to try not to mess up your hair
i'm so excited i could just explode
cross your fingers and it might get shown
i told my parents to stay up late
but it's half past two
and there's been a mistake
i'm so excited i could just explode
cross your fingers and it might get shown
i told my parents to stay up late
but it's half past two
and there's been a mistake
swimming in a child proof pool
the cameraman says that your looking so cool
we had to rent a school bus stuffed with sand
it's only gonna cost you a hundred grand
your friends are in the background
and they're dancing well
and everybody hopes that the concept will sell
when i give the signal start eating dirt
sing into a shovel
and takeoff your shirt
let's go shopping in a posh boutique
wear out more clothes then you wear in a week
but they can't see your face if you're looking down
and it's gonna look bad if they've been jumping around
think of a war starting when the fireworks explode
walk into the church, start to confess
now turn and face the priest
he's wearing a dress
your friends are in the background
and they're dancing great
we have to wrap it up now
it's getting kinda late
so this is where you wrestle with the purple bear
and your gonna have to try not to mess up your hair
i'm so excited i could just explode
cross your fingers and it might get shown
i told my parents to stay up late
but it's half past two
and there's been a mistake
cross your fingers and it might get shown
i told my parents to stay up late
but it's half past two
and there's been a mistake

Fuckin' love the lyrics. No idea what it is, seems to be a parody of teenage life. Great song overall.
Actually I thought about it and I think it's a parody of video clips for major labels and things like MTV. The way the verses are told are like a director speaking to the band.

Only just realized this song must be about a music video shoot. Making fun of ridiculous video concepts.
