Back in the Day

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
