Nazareth – Back To The Trenches

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
Everything that they swore
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
Just knocking on wood

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 is a Scottish rock band that had several hard rock hits in the UK in the early 1970s, and established an international audience with their 1975 album Hair of the Dog. Primarily an albums band, they had one notable international hit single, in 1975, with a cover of the ballad “Love Hurts”.[1] The band continues to record and tour to the present day.
Nazareth was formed in December 1968 in Dunfermline, Scotland, out of the ashes of semi-professional local group The Shadettes (formed in 1961) by vocalist Dan McCafferty, guitarist Manny Charlton (ex Mark V and The Red Hawks), bassist Pete Agnew, and drummer Darrell Sweet.[2] They took their name from the first line of The Band’s classic song “The Weight” (“I pulled into Nazareth / Was feelin’ about half past dead…”)[2]. Nazareth’s cover version of “Java Blues” by The Band’s bassist/singer Rick Danko and Emmett Grogan is on their 1981 live album Snaz.

The band moved to London, England in 1970, and released their eponymous debut album in 1971.[2] After getting some attention with their second album Exercises, released in 1972, Nazareth supported Deep Purple on tour, and issued the Roger Glover produced, Razamanaz, in early 1973.[2] This collection spawned two UK Top Ten hits, “Broken Down Angel” and “Bad Bad Boy”.[2] This was followed by Loud ‘N’ Proud in late 1973, which contained another hit single with a hard-rocking cover of Joni Mitchell’s song “This Flight Tonight”.[2] Then came another album Rampant, in 1974, that was equally successful although its only single, “Shanghai’ed in Shanghai”, narrowly missed the British Top 40.[3] A non-album song, again a cover version, this time of Tomorrow’s “My White Bicycle”, was a UK Top 20 entry in 1975.[2]
Saving Private Ryan is a 1998 American war film set during the invasion of Normandy in World War II. It was directed by Steven Spielberg and written by Robert Rodat. The film is notable for the intensity of its opening 27 minutes, which depict the Omaha beachhead assault of June 6, 1944. Afterward, it follows Tom Hanks as Captain John H. Miller and several men (Tom Sizemore, Edward Burns, Barry Pepper, Vin Diesel, Giovanni Ribisi, Adam Goldberg, and Jeremy Davies) as they search for paratrooper Private James Francis Ryan (Matt Damon), who is the last surviving brother of three fallen servicemen.
