I Just Shot John Lennon
Cranberries
To the Faithful Departed
I Just Shot John Lennon
It was a 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...
With a Smith and Wesson 38
John Lennon's life was no longer a debate
He should have stayed at home
He should have never cared
The man who took his life declared:
He said, 'I just shot John Lennon,
I just shot John Lennon'
What a sad and sorry and sickening sight
What a sad and sorry and sickening night...
