I knew that he’d be hangin’ at The Factory
I knew this was my chance to make history
I shut the elevator doors
Rode up to the fourth floor
I said, “You can’t control me anymore, anymore”
And I knew it wouldn’t be long before he was
Killed by me - singin’

I shot Andy Warhol
I’m Valerie Solanas, I’m a no hoax, baby
I shot Andy Warhol
I pulled the trigger, nearly killed Andy

I drew my .22 pistol and took aim
I’ll take your life and fifteen minutes of fame
“No, no, Valerie”, he screamed
Regained my self-esteem
“You can’t control me anymore, anymore”
And I knew it wouldn’t be long before he was
Killed by me - singin’

I shot Andy Warhol
I fired three bullets at his body baby
I shot Andy Warhol
