Bear Cage Lyrics
I work hard, I'm saving my marks
Watch what I do when I swim with the sharks
A new race and a new way to race
Feel ashamed as I live a disgrace
Gee, (G.) I'm (M.) living (B.H.) in a bear cage
Gee, (G.) I'm (M.) living (B.H.) in a bear cage
They never told me what was the truth
Just a young man losing his youth
Sell cars, sell meat, selling anything
Save up just to live like a king
Gee, (G.) I'm (M.) living (B.H.) in a bear cage
Gee, (G.) I'm (M.) living (B.H.) in a bear cage
Bear cage
Bear cage
You can keep your Brussels and Amsterdam
Give me back my summer in Dresden, Man
But they still got peace police over there
Drawing lines on a map just to show I'm there
Gee, (G.) I'm (M.) living (B.H.) in a bear cage
Gee, (G.) I'm (M.) living (B.H.) in a bear cage
Gee, (G.) I'm (M.) living (B.H.) in a bear cage
Bear cage
Bear cage
Bear cage
Bear cage
Gee, (G.) I'm (M.) living (B.H.) in a bear cage
Gee, (G.) I'm (M.) living (B.H.) in a bear cage
Gee, (G.) I'm (M.) living (B.H.) in a bear cage
Gee, (G.) I'm (M.) living (B.H.) in a bear cage
Watch what I do when I swim with the sharks
A new race and a new way to race
Feel ashamed as I live a disgrace
Gee, (G.) I'm (M.) living (B.H.) in a bear cage
Just a young man losing his youth
Sell cars, sell meat, selling anything
Save up just to live like a king
Gee, (G.) I'm (M.) living (B.H.) in a bear cage
Bear cage
Give me back my summer in Dresden, Man
But they still got peace police over there
Drawing lines on a map just to show I'm there
Gee, (G.) I'm (M.) living (B.H.) in a bear cage
Gee, (G.) I'm (M.) living (B.H.) in a bear cage
Bear cage
Bear cage
Bear cage
Gee, (G.) I'm (M.) living (B.H.) in a bear cage
Gee, (G.) I'm (M.) living (B.H.) in a bear cage
Gee, (G.) I'm (M.) living (B.H.) in a bear cage

I want to propose a possible explanation for the meaning of G.M.B.H. in the song. Since the lyrics reference Germany twice, first with "marks" as a currency and second when mentioning Dresden, I feel somewhat confident that the German term GmbH (short for Gesellschaft mit beschränkter Haftung - company with limited liability) might be what explains the use of G.M.B.H. in the song. With the literal translation of Gesellschaft being society, it fits the overall narrative of society dodging responsibility. I wouldn't bet my life on it but it seems somewhat plausible. edit: And on the compilation IV they actually named Bear Cage "G.m.b.H." capitalized like it that.
