Freddie Mercury
Put Out the Fire
[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!
