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
