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 SF out to Old Bridge
 New York back to LA
 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 the 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 all part of one force
 Knocked Rock and Roll on its ass
 And put metal on the course
 Higher!
 Higher!
 Higher!
 Higher!
 ♪
 Back in the day
 You weren't there
 It doesn't matter
 Because 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
 Oh, oh oh oh oh-oh
 Peals of thunder, sheets of lighting
 The power hits the stage
 The music was exciting
 The mania raged
 Oh, oh oh oh oh-oh
 We all had the fever
 Our ears started to ring
 Feeding this wildfire
 Consuming everything
 Oh, oh oh oh oh-oh
 Metal's King back then
 And still is to this day
 Others imitate or challenge
 But it never goes away
 Oh, oh oh oh-oh
