Put out the fire lyrics

They called him a hero

In the land of the free

But he wouldn't shake my hand boy

He disappointed me

So I got my handgun

And I blew him away

That critter was a bad guy

I had to make him pay

You might fear for my reason

I don't care what they say

Look out baby it's the season

For the mad masquerade

Put out the fire

Put out the fire

Put out the fire

Oh you need a bullet like a hole in the head

Put out the fire

Put out the fire

Put out the fire

Don't believe what your granddaddy said

She was my lover

It was a shame that she died

But the constitution's right on my side

'Cos I caught my lover in my neighbour's bed

I got retribution, filled 'em all full of lead

I've been told it's the fashion

To let me on the streets again

It's nothing but a crime of passion

And I'm not to blame

Put out the fire

Put out the fire

Put out the fire

You need a weapon like a hole in the head

Put out the fire

Put out the fire baby

Put out the fire

And let your sons and your daughters

Sleep sound in their beds

You know a gun never killed nobody

You can ask anyone

People get shot by people

People with guns

Oh yeah put out the fire wooh

Put out the fire c'mon

You need a gun like a hole in the head

Put out the fire wooh

Put out the fire

Put out the fire yeah eah

Just tell me that old fashioned gun law is dead

Ha hey take it that far

Come on yeah shoot shoot haaa shoot shoot shoot
