Rick Springfield - 3 Warning Shots "i hope Lennons killer hears this song, because its for him".

Thats Ricks qoute during a 40 minute interview U get access too after purchasing Ricks new "masterpiece" record. The song as Rick said "is a response to the movie made about Lennons killer" (he doesnt call him by name, because Rick says he doesnt deserve to be named), this track is dark, because of what Rick is talking about, its references, and anger, could only have been done by a fan, and by someone who lived through the happening.

The Words



Dear disillusioned boy
who taught you to destroy
Everything that's beautiful
Everything that shines
You're the monster underneath your bed

I'll give you 1 warning shot, I'll give you 2 Warning shots
I'll give you 3 warning shots to the head

I know you
I give Lucifer his due
He promised you you'd be legit
But everybody thinks you're shit
I hope every dream you dream, you dream in red

I'll give you 1 warning shot, I'll give you 2 warning shots
I'll give you 3 warning shots to the head

Yeah you caught johnny on the spot
But no one gave you a second thought
I'll give you 3 warning shots to the head

Standing on a NewYork sidewalk with a loaded gun
(solo) Happiness...is a warm gun...

Mommies depressed little joy
Holden Caulfields stable-boy
Hey come on wake up you sleepy head

I'll give you 1 warning shot, I'll give you 2 warning shots
I'll give you3 warning shots to the head

You got empty brain and crazy thoughts
"the voices" had you tied in knots
I'll give you 3 warning shots to the head


Yes Rick is talking about killing Lennons Killer given the chance.
