Ay, ay, ay, ay, ay, ay, ay!
You cannot
Shoot at me, shoot at me, shoot at me

Load your chamber
Took aim and you missed

Overall Meaning

"Shoot Shoot" by U.F.O is a hard-rocking song that features a confrontational message. The song starts with a series of "ay"s that are almost tribal in nature, setting the tone for the aggressive lyrics that follow. The repeated lyric "You cannot shoot at me" is a direct challenge to someone who is taking aim and missing, causing frustration and anger. The singer seems almost amused by the shooter's futile attempts, taunting them with lines like "I'm gonna copy your flow" and "Shoot at my head you cannot do."

The chorus is particularly intense, with the band shouting in unison "you cannot shoot at me" over and over. This repetition is both empowering and intimidating - the band is asserting their dominance and daring anyone to challenge them. The final lines of the song ("Shoot at me, shoot at me, shoot at me...shoot at me") are delivered in a rapid-fire succession, adding to the feeling of tension and urgency that permeates the entire track.

Overall, "Shoot Shoot" is a song that celebrates confidence and rebellion. It's a song for anyone who has ever been underestimated or dismissed, and who refuses to back down from a challenge. With its bold lyrics and heavy guitar riffs, it's a track that packs a serious punch and demands to be heard.
