Lyrics

I Shot the Devil

[Intro]

I shot Reagan!

[Verse 1]

I shot Reagan

I shot Sadat

I'm gonna shoot you

In heaven, you'll rot

[Pre-Chorus]

You'll rot in heaven

Hear an Angel's voice

You're too bad for hell

Though it's your first choice

[Chorus]

Rot in heaven

You're too bad for hell

Rot in heaven

'Cause you're forgiven in hell

[Verse 2]

I shot Lennon

I shot the Pope

I shot the devil

Now you ain't got no hope

[Pre-Chorus]

You're gonna rot in heaven

Hear an angel's voice

You're too bad for hell

Though it's your first choice

[Chorus]

Rot in heaven

You're too bad for hell

Rot in heaven

'Cause you're forgiven in hell

[Guitar Solo]

[Chorus]

Rot in heaven

You're forgiven in hell

Rot in heaven

You're forgiven in hell

Ha-ha-ha, yeah!

[Verse 3]

I shot Reagan

I shot Sadat

I'm gonna shoot you

In heaven, you'll rot

I shot Lennon

I shot the Pope

I shot the devil

Now you ain't got no hope

[Outro]

I shot Reagan!

And I'd shoot him again and again and again!
