Shoot To Thrill Lyrics
All you women who want a man of the street
But you don't know which way you wanna turn
Just keep a coming and put your hand out to me
'Cause I'm the one who's gonna make you burn
I'm gonna take you down - down, down, down
So don't you fool around
I'm gonna pull it, pull it, pull the trigger
Shoot to thrill, play to kill
Too many women with too many pills
Shoot to thrill, play to kill
I got my gun and i'm ready, gonna fire at will
Yeah
I'm like evil, I get under your skin
Just like a bomb that's ready to blow
'Cause I'm illegal, I got everything
That all you women might need to know
I'm gonna take you down - yeah, down, down, down
So don't you fool around
I'm gonna pull it, pull it, pull the trigger
Shoot to thrill, play to kill
Too many women with too many pills
Shoot to thrill, play to kill
I got my gun and i'm ready, gonna fire at will
'Cause I shoot to thrill, and I'm ready to kill
I can't get enough, I can't get the thrill
I shoot to thrill, play to kill
Yeah, pull the trigger
Pull it, pull it, pull it, pull the trigger
Oh
Shoot to thrill, play to kill
Too many women, with too many pills
I said, shoot to thrill, play to kill
I got my gun and i'm ready, gonna fire at will
'Cause I shoot to thrill, and I'm ready to kill
And I can't get enough, and I can't get my thrill
'Cause I shoot to thrill, play it again
Yeah
Shoot you down
Yeah
I'm gonna get you to the bottom and shoot you
I'm gonna shoot you
Oh hoo yeah yeah yeah
I'm gonna shoot you down yeah yeah
I'm gonna get you down
Yeah yeah yeah yeah
Shoot you, shoot you, shoot you, shoot you down
Shoot you, shoot you, shoot you down
Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, ooooooh
I'm gonna shoot to thrill
Play to kill
Shoot to thrill

But you don't know which way you wanna turn
Just keep a coming and put your hand out to me
'Cause I'm the one who's gonna make you burn
So don't you fool around
I'm gonna pull it, pull it, pull the trigger
Too many women with too many pills
Shoot to thrill, play to kill
I got my gun and i'm ready, gonna fire at will
Just like a bomb that's ready to blow
'Cause I'm illegal, I got everything
That all you women might need to know
So don't you fool around
I'm gonna pull it, pull it, pull the trigger
Too many women with too many pills
Shoot to thrill, play to kill
I got my gun and i'm ready, gonna fire at will
'Cause I shoot to thrill, and I'm ready to kill

Add your song meanings, interpretations, facts, memories & more to the community.
The song is about heavily medicated British Women of the late 1970's and early 80's. This was the era when Valium, and other downers, were being prescribed in droves to lonely housewives. Many of these board housewives went to clubs, bars and other dives looking for action. This is 100% the meaning of the song.
@YaakovIsrael , That is the Brian Johnson explanation. If a casual listener hears the lyrics, It could be mistaken very easily to mean the guy like to kill women. So it doesn't really matter what Brian Johnson meant. At the end of the day it's how it's interpreted.

Songs just about sex innit. Pull the trigger means to cum. take you down means to lay a woman down on a bed. The Guy's just proclaiming that he is the best guy around to have sex with
I first heard this song before i learned guitar, i couldn't help but to air guitar to it, now i can play it for real (it's not all too hard)
better for intermediate players
this song is not about a rapist or anything. i have the dual disc thing for back in black, and brian johnson said that what he was thinking abot when he wrote it, was at the time in england there were so many depressed housewives so the doc. would give them volume to get them not depressed. so.. too many women, too many pills.
@ACDC4E I think you mean Valium, dude.
@ACDC4E I think you mean Valium, dude.

Volume = big penis
Volume = big penis
DOH!
DOH!
'Shoot' basically means 'root'. While the meaning of the song isn't exactly deep or inspiring, it sounds great. Especially love the quiet bridge.
great song just got the cd good cd all im gonna say so yeah
Great-ass song. That 'quiet bridge' is the best part, so truely golden, yeah
ACDC4E hit it right on the head. they called it shoot to thrill because angus had seen the phrase someplace and liked it, writing it down for further consideration.
i love this song, it makes me want to start jumping... i can't believe there are so little comments on this one
i think this song is pretty much all about sex. shoot to thrill means flirt for fun, and play to kill means be in for sex.
