Theodore Anthony "Ted" Nugent ( /tɛd ˈnuːdʒɨnt/; born December 13, 1948) is an American musician. From Detroit, Michigan, he gained fame as the lead guitarist of The Amboy Dukes before embarking on a solo career. He is noted for his conservative political views and his defense of hunting and gun ownership rights.
Nugent was born and raised in Detroit, Michigan, the son of Marion Dorothy (née Johnson) and Warren Henry Nugent. Nugent's father was an Army staff sergeant, and he was raised in a very strict household. He moved to Palatine, Illinois, as a teenager, and has two brothers: John and Jeffrey. Raised Catholic, Nugent has mentioned his ties with the Christian faith many times during interviews, and has stated that he regularly attends church. He attended St. Viator High School in Arlington Heights, IL.
Nugent has released more than 34 albums and has sold a career total of 30 million records. He was known throughout his early career in the 1970s for using Fender amps, a large part of his signature sound, and for playing the hollow-body Gibson Byrdland guitar.

Genres: Comedy,I ain't got time for make believin'
My time is short, but I'm here to stay
No politics will cure the grievin'
So I choose my life, but I choose it my way
(and) Just like the wolf, I'm getting hungry
The law of the land, it is my will
And I ain't got time for staying angry
But I got the time to make a kill
Watch me kill
I'm gonna live tooth, fang, and claw
I'm gonna live, and I live my way
Watch me live tooth, fang, and claw
Watch me live an extra day
The red man he walked on a sacred hillside
The black man he runs through his Africa
But my daddy stalked the amber prairies
We all gotta live by nature's law
Watch me live
I'm gonna live tooth, fang, and claw
I'm gonna live, and I live my way
Watch me live tooth, fang, and claw
Watch me live an extra day
Oh yeah yeah yeah
Don't you worry about me
'cause I can and I will survive
I'm running with the pack babe
And like a lone wolf I am alive
Like my forefathers before me
I can use my own two hands
You best believe me
I can live off the land
Oh yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah
The red man walked on a sacred hillside
And the black man still runs in Africa
Fred Bear he stalked the amber prairies
Me too
We all gotta live by nature's law
Live
I'm gonna live tooth, fang, and claw
I'm gonna live, and I live my way
Watch me live tooth, fang, and claw
And watch me live an extra day
I got ta got ta got ta live
