Back in the Day
Where were you when it happenedWhere could you be foundWere you at the front of the stageOr in the underground
From SF out to Old BridgeNew York to LAThe world of metal changed foreverBack in the day
Well that was back in the dayAnd if you weren't thereIt doesn't matter anywayBecause you wouldn't understand
Live to dieDie to playEvery day and placeLeave a path of metalAcross a world from stage to stage
Well that was back in the dayAnd if you weren't thereIt doesn't matter anywayBecause you wouldn't understand
In denim and leatherWe were a one for all-all for one forceKnocked rock n roll on it's assAnd put metal on the course
Back in the dayIf you weren't thereIt doesn't matterCause you wouldn't understand...
This is our way of lifeA life that was born freeTo follow orders how to liveWas never meant to be
Hints of thunder, seeds of lightningThe power hits the stageThe music was excitingThe mania raged
We all had the feverOur ears started to ringFeeding this wildfireConsuming everything
Metal's king back thenAnd still is to this dayOthers imitate or challengeBut it never goes away
