Look out Donald Trump, Jersey rockers are coming at you.

Both Jon Bon Jovi and Bruce Springsteen put Trump in their cross-hairs with scathing take-downs of the Republican candidate for president in the last 48 hours.

Bon Jovi called Trump a liar in comments to Gigwise, a London based music website.

"It's an unbelievable time in American politics and it scares the (blank) out of me," Bon Jovi said. "I pray he's not the next president of the United States. It's incredible that the man can lie to you. You tell him here's factually what you said that's incorrect and then he tells it the same (way again)."

Bon Jovi has campaigned for Democratic candidate Hillary Clinton and he's hopeful she'll win in November.

"Trump only has 10 million online followers," Bon Jovi said. Yet, "if Hillary Clinton has a bad debate next week then we could be in for trouble."

Springsteen went after Trump during an interview with the Swedish TV show "Skavlan," scheduled to air Friday, Sept. 23.

"(Trump) comes along and he has a very simple answers to these complex problems and he's telling some of the people things they want to hear," Springsteen said. "If you're very uncomfortable by the browning of America, well, we'll build a wall and keep all those people out "

"But if you have struggled and you have suffered and you have not gotten that piece of the pie or you're struggle to keep your family going, someone saying it can be a very compelling argument," Springsteen explained.

The Boss also called Trump a "moron" in an interview with Rolling Stone.

"The ideas he's moving to the mainstream are all very dangerous ideas – white nationalism and the alt-right movement," Springsteen said. "The outrageous things that he's done – not immediately disavowing David Duke? These are things that are obviously beyond the pale for any previous political candidate. It would sink your candidacy immediately."

"I believe that there's a price being paid for not addressing the real cost of the deindustrialization and globalization that has occurred in the United States for the past 35, 40 years and how it’s deeply affected people's lives and deeply hurt people to where they want someone who says they have a solution," Springsteen continued.

Unlike Bon Jovi, Springsteen has not campaigned for Clinton, but he does support her for president, according to Rolling Stone.

"I like Hillary," Springsteen said. "I think she would be a very, very good president."

The Trump campaign did not respond to an email requesting comment on the statements.
