[Verse 1] 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 [Pre-Chorus] You might fear for my reason I don't care what they say Look out, baby, it's the season For the mad masquerade [Chorus] 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 [Verse 2] 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 neighbor's bed I got retribution Filled 'em all full of lead [Pre-Chorus] 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 [Chorus] 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 [Guitar Solo] [Pre-Chorus] You know a gun never killed nobody You can ask anyone People get shot by people People with guns [Chorus] (Oh, yeah) Put out the fire (Wooh!) Put out the fire (Come on!) You need a gun like a hole in the head Put out the fire (Wooh!) Put out the fire Put out the fire (Yeah) Just tell me that old fashioned gun law is dead [Outro] Ah, hey! Take it and fire! Ah! Yeah! Shoot, shoot! Ha! Shoot, shoot, shoot!
