3 Warning Shots

Rick Springfield · Venus In Overdrive/live In Rockford [2010]

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
