3 Warning Shots Lyrics by Rick Springfield

Venus in Overdrive

(spoken)
John Lennon.....

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

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 and I'll

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 gives you a second thought and I'll
I'll give you 3 warning shots to the head

Standing on a New York sidewalk with a loaded gun

Mommies depressed little joy
Holden Caulfield's stable-boy
Hey come on wake up you sleepy head, and I'll give you

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

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