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 hand gun

And I blew him away

That critter was a bad guy

And 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 grand-daddy said

She was my lover

It was a shame that she died

But the constitution is right on my side

'Cause 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

Put out the fire put out the fire

You need a gun like a hole in the head

Put out the fire put out the fire put out the fire

Just tell me that old-fashioned gun law is dead

Take it and fire

Shoot, shoot

Shoot, shoot, shoot
