Under the Gun Lyrics

Lost in the shuffle the hustle and bustle of the city
Just a sweet young girl in a knockdown world, such a pity
Well she never worried, growin' up in a hurry
No one showed her the right
She met a man, he took her hand one night

Out on the street all the people you meet
Wanna use you for your innocent ways
Running around you're the talk of the town today
You were so cool you played by the rules
You thought you had it in the palm of your hand
You're on your way to the top and
They won't let you stop 'til you're there
Now you're

Chorus:
Under The Gun
Out on the Run
Paying the price with your flesh and your blood
It's bringing you down (bringing you down)
Livin' your life
Under The Gun

Under the lights, you're feelin' the bite
Of big city days and big city ngihts
Now you're alone, you wanna go home, but you can't
You're goin' outta your head, they're in and outta your bed
You're losin' sight of what you thought was the truth
They'll string you along 'til you're tattered and torn
Then along comes somebody new
When you're

(Chorus)

You were on the top but now you're runnin' out of time
Open your eyes, now you're under the gun, under the gun

(Chorus)

The quintet -- Ted Poley (vocals), Andy Timmons (guitar), Bruno Ravel (bass), Steve West (drums), and Kasey Smith (keyboards) Landed a deal with Epic in 1989. The same year saw the release of the group's self-titled debut, spawning the single/video "Naughty Naughty," which enjoyed a few airings on MTV's Headbanger's Ball program. The album failed to break the group through to the big time, but the group stuck to their guns and issued further albums: 1991's Screw It!, 1995's Dawn, 1998's Four the Hard Way, and 2000's Return of the Great Gildersleeves.

Singer Ted Poley and guitarist Andy Timmons left the band after "Screw It!" was released (and having recorded a third album which got shelved). The band brought in Paul Laine to replace Poley for 1995's "Dawn" and on.

In 2001, Laine would record vocals for the shelved album they had recorded with Poley. Fans wanted to hear both singers, so they released this album, "Cockroach" as a 2-disc set, both discs having the same songs (Laine's had a bonus track), the only difference being the vocalist.

2003 saw the return of Ted Poley to the band. Danger Danger would then release "Prime Cuts", a collection of rare tracks and demos from the 80s with Ted Poley.

Their latest release is a live album recorded during their last tour with singer Paul Laine.

They also contributed a track called "Naughty Naughty Christmas" to the "Have A Very Hairy Christmas" Compilation.

the record label has sent them back in the studio to record a new album this year 2008. Their latest album is entitled "Revolve" and was released sometime in September 2009 Read more on Last.fm.
