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
