Mr. 44 Lyrics

Greetings from the gutter where the red, red rivers run
I bring you sweet salvation from the barrel of a gun
Is she a virgin or is she a whore?
I don't really give a damn
I'm Mr. 44
I'm a bottomless pit
With nothing in it
A void filled with unclean spirits
A hound of Hell on a long, long leash
Can you count the number of this beast?
Mr. 44
Every time I pull my trigger
The Devil's work is done
Hellfire and damnation from the barrel of a gun
22 Disciples of Hell knocking at death's door
To each his own, but make mine murder
I'm Mr. 44

Keep it true to the song

Fix what’s wrong, but don’t rewrite what the artist wrote. Stick to the official released version — album booklet, label site, verified lyric video, etc. If you’re guessing, pause and double-check.

Respect the structure

Songs have rhythm. Pages do too. Leave line breaks where they belong. Don’t smash things together or add extra empty space just for looks.

Punctuation counts (but vibe-editing doesn’t)

Correct typos? Yes. Re-punctuating a whole verse because it ‘looks better’? Probably not. Keep capitalization and punctuation close to the official source.

Don’t mix versions

If you’re editing the explicit version, keep it explicit. If it’s the clean version, keep it clean. No mashups.

Let the lyrics be lyrics

This isn’t the place for interpretations, memories, stories, or trivia — that’s what comments are for. Keep metadata, translations, and bracketed stage directions out unless they’re officially part of the song.

Edit lightly

If two lines are wrong… fix the two lines. No need to bulldoze the whole page. Think ‘surgical,’ not ‘remix.’

When in doubt, ask the crowd

Not sure what they’re singing in that fuzzy bridge? Drop a question in the comments and let the music nerds swarm. Someone always knows.

Apparently the Columbine shooters listened to this album/band alot before the tragedy. It's scary, because the music isn't neccessarily extremely quick-paced or overwhelming in nature. Just good old satanic messaging and hard hitting drums, which was apparently enough to (possibly) fuel the motives behind the shooters. While the incident was horrible, I think blaming any part of the music industry is meaningless - people derive their own meanings from music, and the artist is not to blame.

I've heard this song is about serial killer David Berkowitz, also known as The Son of Sam, can anyone confirm/deny it?

I can't for sure confirm, but it can be easily speculated that this is about David Berkowitz. The name 'Mr. 44' could easily refer to the fact that Berkowitz used a .44 caliber revolver to kill. In addition, the part about the hounds of hell can tie back to the fact that he claimed he believed he was carrying out orders given by a demon possessing a neighbor's dog (which turned out to be a hoax and likely a publicity stunt).
