  • Riot on the radio
    Pictures on the TV
    Invader man take what he can
    Shootout on the silver screen
    Sticking 'em up and knocking 'em down
    Living out a fantasy
    There's a bad man cruising around
    In a big black limousine
    Don't let it be wrong
    Don't let it be right
    Get in his way
    You're dead in his sights

    Big gun
    Big gun number one
    Big gun
    Big gun kick the hell out of you

    Terminators, Uzi makers
    Shootin' up Hollywood
    Snakes alive with a .45
    Setting off and doing no good
    If you ain't wise they'll cannibalize
    Tear flesh off you
    Classified lady killers
    Prayin' in the human zoo (Prayin')
    They saddle you up
    And take you to town
    Better look out
    When he come around

    Big gun
    Big gun number one
    Big gun
    Big gun kick the hell out of you

    Big gun, got a hot one
    Big gun, got a number one
    Big gun, loaded and cocked
    Big gun, hot hot hot
    Got big gun, ready or not
    Big gun, give it, give it a shot

    Terminator, Uzi makers
    Regulators, gonna get you later

  • Southamericanrocker from Medellin, ColombiaI believe they never play it live, because the song rights belong to the movie producers. That sometimes happens when you become a "gun for hire"... Too bad for us fans!
  • Andrew from Kilcoy, AustraliaThis was the last song with drummer Chris Slade.
  • Caitlin from Colmesneil, TxThis is probably my fav AC/DC song. Too bad they've never performed it live, though. It'd kick ass in concert.
  • Carlota from Ankara, TurkeyI love this song! It is very high-energy and it makes you want to run a mile and KICK BUTT while doing it. Definitely one of the best rock songs ever!
  • Selina from Perth, AustraliaGod, how good is that riff?! Makes ya wanna shout and rock out! :P :)
  • Alex from Miami, FlThis song was issued as a single in a cassette along with a live version of Back In Black. The movie The Last Action Hero failed due to bad timing. It came out a week after Jurassic Park, the biggest movie phenomenon of that year.
  • Alex from Miami, FlThis song is the first in the soundtrack an it has a good selection of rocker. It was released July 8 1993 - Columbia Records (CD)
