Combat
Ron Wasserman Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
You're runnin' out of time
No time to stop
'Cause they are close behind
When they come knock
They better know it's time
I've got the lock
To keep them all in line
When the evil's got you in sight
Co-co-com Combat
Co-co-com Combat
Now you see them
The plan is very clear
Find their weak spot
And never show your fear
They think their tough
But you've got a secret weapon
They don't know 'bout
Your ultra zord protection
And now they run and now they hide
'Cause you're on the winning side

The opening line "Tick Tock, Tick Tock" in Ron Wasserman's song "Combat" is highly suggestive of the urgent and fast-paced situation the singer is in. The song presents an intense situation where the character is being chased by some unknown people, and there's no time to stop. They have to keep running ad must not let whoever is chasing them catch them. The urgency is emphasized even further through the repetition of the line, "No time to stop." The singer states that when their pursuers come knocking, they will know that it's time to face the consequences of their actions. The character believes that they have the control and is in charge of the situation when they say, "I've got the lock to keep them all in line." The character is somewhat confident and shows that the tables can turn if they play their cards right.
In the second paragraph, the plan of action is to locate the weakness of the aggressors, which will help overcome them. The character seems to realize their strength as they say, "They think they're tough, but you've got a secret weapon they don't know 'bout." "Ultra zord protection" can suggest that the singer has some advanced technology that will play a crucial role in their defense. They highlight the fact that the tables have turned when they say, "And now they run and now they hide/'Cause you're on the winning side." The song is about the ultimate fight or struggle between good and evil, where the character has to face their demons and emerge victorious.

I never realised it but I think one of the reasons that Mighty Morphin Power Rangers is so endearing to me compared to some of the other seasons, is even though it is kind of cheesy, the music was actually really good. I definitely think there are seasons that are better written, that have better story arcs, and better acting, but that original music from mmpr, just awesome.

Yess! The Iron Maiden and Judas Priest sounding music is what makes it
KRYPTONITE SPIDER-BITE DYNAMITE
And even the story arcs are great

I mean where on the winning side and if star ship troopers has anything to say about it, is that if your winning your right.
And more is better and who has the most wins.
These are the lessons Genghis Khan taught to the greatest man to ever live Dan Halen.

I haven't heard this in over 25 years. I forgot this and how the show and the music were a big part of my life. Thank you.

It’s hard for me to listen to this song without hearing Tommy going, “Ooh ahh, see see oooh aahhh.” RIP JDF. You will be missed forever.

Yes! Especially that fight scene where he does a series of whirlwind kicks perfectly in sync with the part at 1:39
Son of Hecate
Ron Wasserman MUST come back to Power Rangers and make more music for it.
