Nailed to the Gun Lyrics

(Halford)

Sig sauer, victim of a systems non-control
Devour, striking terror into every soul

Communication breakdown onto self destruction
Schizophrenic people breeding hate
Pessimistic thinking from a failed connection
Survival comes when we annihilate

Nailed to the gun
Nailed to the gun
Nailed to the gun
Nailed to the gun


Paranoia, termination sickness zeros good
Blind power, executing humans in cold blood

Degenerating children with an opiate bullet
Poison flows from words out on the street
Trapped inside the home that has become the prison
Dissin' everybody that we meet

Nailed to the gun
Nailed to the gun
Nailed to the gun
Nailed to the gun

Locked and loaded, governmental loss to anarchy
Weapon goaded, magnum is gagging liberty

Cultural collision in an endless frenzy
Numbing minds with threats of violence
Hopeless to the dream of any decent future
Running on sheer fear and ignorance

Nailed to the gun
Nailed to the gun
Nailed to the gun
Nailed to the gun

Fight was formed in the summer of 1993 by vocalist Rob Halford (Judas Priest). Inspired by the brutal sound of Pantera during their 1991 tour, Rob steered the group in an aggressive, more American-styled direction of heavy metal.

Bad blood between Halford and the other members of Judas Priest caused the band to take a long break in 1992. At the time, Rob would produce the solo album on the side, and return to the band afterwards - that was the plan. However the relationship between Rob and Priest became steadily worse in 1992, and in September he was legally no longer part of the band.

In 1993 with his group assembled and material ready and written entirely by Halford, War of Words was released, and represented a much tougher type of metal with strong traces of Pantera's sound in effect. The Mutations EP was released in 1994 and contained some strong remixes of WoW tracks, plus 4 live tracks from a radio broadcast. 1995 saw Fight release their 3rd and final album, A Small Deadly Space which was far removed from their 1st effort and it was arguably when Fight became Fight. This time around the rest of the band contributed to the songwriting. Unfortunately the band broke up in the fall of 1995, despite having material prepared for a future CD.

Rob went on to be a part of 2 more solo-projects, Two and Halford before returning to Priest in 2003. Read more on Last.fm. User-contributed text is available under the Creative Commons By-SA License; additional terms may apply.
