Great Lyrics Hall of Fame

To commemorate the tenth anniversary of the last time anyone in the world said “I wonder when the next Cranberries album is out”, here for you to cut out and treasure are the deathless lyrics to their album track, I Just Shot John Lennon.

It was the fearful night of December 8th.
He was returning home from the studio late.
He had perceptively known that it wouldn't be nice
Because in 1980, he paid the price.

John Lennon died. [x6]

With a Smith & Wesson 38
John Lennon's life was no longer a debate.
He should have stayed at home,
He should have never cared,
And the man who took his life declared,

He said I just shot John Lennon.
He said I just shot John Lennon.

Do you know, I was just thinking this yesterday, so thanks. I see you've got me wrapped around you finger, do you have to linger, with your guns and your bomb and your guns and your bombs, ZOMBIE? Thanks.
