Back In The Day

Lyrics
Where were you when it happened, where could you be found?
Were you at the front of the stage or in the underground?
From S.F out to Old Brit, New York to L.A
The world of metal changed forever, back in the day
Well, that was back in the day and if you weren’t there
It doesn’t matter anyway because you wouldn’t understand
Live to die and die to play, every day and place
Leave a path of metal across, a world from stage to stage
Well, that was back in the day and if you weren’t there
It doesn’t matter anyway because you wouldn’t understand
In denim and leather, we were a one for all all for one force
Knocked rock ’n’ roll on it’s ass and put metal on the course
Higher! Higher! Higher! Higher!
Ah!
Back in the day
If you weren’t there
It doesn’t matter
‘Cause you wouldn’t understand
This is our way of life, a life that was born free
To follow orders how to live was never meant to be
Ah ah oh oh oh
Hints of thunder, seeds of lightning, the power hits the stage
The music was exciting, the mania raged
Ah ah oh oh oh
We all had a fever, our ears started to ring
Feeding this wildfire, consuming everything
Ah ah oh oh oh
Metal’s king back then and still is to this day
Others imitate or challenge, but it never goes away
Ah ah oh oh
Were you at the front of the stage or in the underground?
From S.F out to Old Brit, New York to L.A
The world of metal changed forever, back in the day
Well, that was back in the day and if you weren’t there
It doesn’t matter anyway because you wouldn’t understand
Live to die and die to play, every day and place
Leave a path of metal across, a world from stage to stage
Well, that was back in the day and if you weren’t there
It doesn’t matter anyway because you wouldn’t understand
In denim and leather, we were a one for all all for one force
Knocked rock ’n’ roll on it’s ass and put metal on the course
Higher! Higher! Higher! Higher!
Ah!
Back in the day
If you weren’t there
It doesn’t matter
‘Cause you wouldn’t understand
This is our way of life, a life that was born free
To follow orders how to live was never meant to be
Ah ah oh oh oh
Hints of thunder, seeds of lightning, the power hits the stage
The music was exciting, the mania raged
Ah ah oh oh oh
We all had a fever, our ears started to ring
Feeding this wildfire, consuming everything
Ah ah oh oh oh
Metal’s king back then and still is to this day
Others imitate or challenge, but it never goes away
Ah ah oh oh
