Put Out The Fire Lyrics

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 hand gun
And I blew him away
That critter was a bad guy
And 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 grand-daddy said

She was my lover
It was a shame that she died
But the constitution's right on my side
'Cause I caught my lover in the 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 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

Put out the fire, 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

Shoot, shoot...

This song is about a person that solves all his problems by killing the people he decides are responsible. It's about vigilantyism and condoning it. Pretty good song, far from their best but still a great Queen song.

This is such a cool song, especially the start it just sounds great!

Good lyrics and a really awesome pop/rock sound for the time. Had they carried through with this style as opposed to the disco influence, Hot Space would have been more well received. Nevertheless, awesome political statement that remains relevant today.
