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
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!
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
Is right on my side
'Cause I caught my lover
In my neighbor'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
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!
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
Chorus:
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
