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 NY 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 mater 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 On, 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 this today Others imitate or challenge But it never goes away On, oh-oh, oh-oh
