TED NUGENT Shares Lyric Video For His Rallying Cry For Pro-Gun Advocates, 'Come And Take It'

Ted Nugent has released the official lyric video for his new song "Come And Take It". The track will appear on Nugent's recently completed new studio album called "Detroit Muscle", which is due on April 29, 2022 via Pavement Music. The follow-up to 2018's "The Music Made Me Do It" was recorded with Ted's current band, which includes bassist Greg Smith and drummer Jason Hartless.

When asked what inspired the new single, Nugent had this to say: "Being the all-time gonzo progenitor of love songs that I am, it is only fitting that I unleash the All-American defiant battle hymn from we the people to punks who dare tread on us. Do you feel the love! Come and take it at your own risk."

Nugent is primed for the release of "Detroit Muscle". He noted: "The mighty Motor City is forever globally known as the epicenter of the ultimate high energy soul-music firestorm, and everybody desperately needs a suckerpunch of Detroit Muscle now more than ever. Relax, it's good for you."

Produced by Michael Lutz and Nugent, "Detroit Muscle" features the following track listing:

01. Detroit Muscle
02. Come And Take It
03. Born In The Motor City
04. American Campfire
05. Drivin’ Blind
06. Just Leave Me Alone
07. Alaska
08. Winterspring Summerfall
09. Leave The Lights On
10. Feedback Grindfire
11. Starspangled Banner

A snippet of "American Campfire" is available at this location.

In recent months, Nugent has been selling hats emblazoned with the words "Come And Take It", a slogan which originated in the Texas Revolution in 1835 and is now used as a symbol of gun-rights advocates and the NRA.

"Come And Take It" lyrics:

Come and take it
Come and take it
Come and take it
Come and take it

Come and take it
Come and take it
Come and take it
Go ahead and try go ahead and die
Come and take it
Welcome back to the Concord bridge

Don't you even try it, don't you tread on me
You can do or die it in the land of the free

Come and take it
Come and take it

No more kings, no tyrants, no more jackboot thugs
We will unleash violence for the freedom that we love

Come and take it
Come and take it
Come and take it
Come and take it

Come and take it
Go ahead and try go ahead and die
Come and take it
Welcome back to the Concord bridge
Come and take it
Go ahead and try go ahead and die
Come and take it
Come and take it
Come and take it
Come and take it
Come and take it

Come and take it [End of lyrics]

"Feedback Grindfire" features such lyrics as: "Tell me what you want, tell me what you need, tell me all your wildest dreams. Give me some feedback grindfire. Tell me what all of this means. Did it feel good? Did it feel right? Did I set your soul on fire? Did you fall in love? Did you live your dreams? Give me some feedback grindfire."

Back in April, Nugent said that his next album would be titled "Handsome Devil" after a public compliment paid to him by former President Donald Trump, of whom Ted is an ardent supporter.

Nugent has repeatedly said that he is "very proud" of his new album as well as the LP's "musical integrity and the spirit and the attitude."

Released via Round Hill Records, "The Music Made Me Do It" was Nugent's first studio album in four years. Accompanying the CD was a bonus DVD, "Live At Freedom Hill", a full-length concert captured at Freedom Hill Amphitheatre in Sterling Heights, Michigan.
