Nazareth - Back To The Trenches Lyrics
Presidents and peace spreading poets
Getting gunned down in the streets
Shown to us on our prime time screens
For our tea time treat
Lunatics we voted for denying
We sit around and shout about it
But we don't do nothing more
Drafted for police action
But they decided on a war
Telling us we were saving mankind
Why don't you ask Cambodia
We were solving it with marijuana
We were sure that we could
Always leavin' it to someone else
We're goin' back to the trenches
We're goin' back to the trenches
Well you say you got a say so
But you're knowin' that it ain't so
And you turn away
You think it's safer to ignore it
But the score is your children have to pay
Everybody wants better
Everybody talkin' 'bout it
Are we wastin' time
Gotta stop only lookin', talkin'
We're all guilty of the crime
We're goin' back to the trenches
We're goin' back to the trenches
We gotta move, we got everything to lose
We gotta move, we got everything to lose
We're all headed for the front
But everybody's fightin' for a good address
It's time we made the changes
Or we'll be burnin' with the rest
We just ain't communicatin' and I don't
Mean conversations on the telephone
When Nero starts to fiddle this time
There's a lot more gonna burn than Rome
we're goin' back to the trenches
we're goin' back to the trenches
we're goin' back to the trenches
we're goin' back to the trenches

Nazareth Back To The Trenches Comments
Was serving in USMC aboard the USS Nassau when this came out. A cassette tape and a Sony Walkman kept a Marine jamming on this one.
Incredible song.
Mi LOS HERMANOS
The studio version is better than the live version
NOW**** LET"****IT ROCK*******************
fight never wins nothin??? Is this watt we want ? Count me OUT?
After a dip this record was a highpoint. "Back to the trenches" suits Dan McCafferty perfect.
i'm no faggotmutilator no way jose???what's that bull-shirt?
IMHO The best NAZ-song ever!
I was in Cambodia
lastima,no escuchabamos nazareth en el '82 lo que me perdi!
1982 to be exact.
one of favorites in highschool.
THE BEST !!!
OLD HIPPIES IN THE VOTING BOOTH?..Maybe next time*
THE BEST CRANK IT UP !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!1
I like no video. Most videos are recent performances. Picture a 50 year old Kurt Cobain doing Smells Like Teen Spirit. If it's not from the time I don't want to see it.
Good old days.
Когда-то был у меня такой альбом, самый настоящий из Англии привезёный, давно......
I have an old cassette of this album but can't find a CD
Don't think it hit CD except on the greatest hits they sold at the last concert i was at they had here back in 2012.
NAZARETH= The Greatest BAND !!
за этот винил я бы душу дьяволу продал
Great rockin song grab a bud light platinum and rock out
this is a ballsy song good additude has that get er done vibe
born, fed and raised on Nazareth, LZ, PF, DP. Going back to the trenches tomorrow. Stay cool.
CRANK IT UP !!!!!
Love manny's guitar work on everything he has done,He's just turned 70 years old and still plays the same as he did when nazareth were at their prime.
Sounds like Manny's on the Strat for this one.I play slide because of him.I use a strat sometimes but am digging my Les more latley.
fuckin manny charlton...when he left that was it.. the naz is am radio now ...gordon lightfoot and chicago tunes...it just isn't fun annymore
Oh COOL I'm the 6 thousand 6 Hundred and 60th Viewer!
@IllustratingCat
I had this on vinyl when it first came out...played this song over and over! No idea what I did with the record though. I need to find one again.
@lalarumoro Good newz bro, the intended re-release date for this album is early 2011 if you weren't aware. As a matter of fact they are re-releasing all of their albums, and if you go on amazon and type in Nazareth Salvo it will show the albums that they have already re-released in 2009/ 2010. All albums are with bonus tracks and well worth the money and if you don't want to buy them off of amazon you can most likely put in a special order for them at your local cd store.
it is LIFE!!
I actually still have the vinyl.
Other than bench pressing a Sherman tank, I can't think of anything harder than finding this CD new :)
Was never cut on CD. Get the Vinyl wider range than CD anyway.
