- Back In The Day LyricsWhere were you when it happened?Where could you be found?Were you at the front of the stageOr in the underground?
From S.F out to Old BritNew York to L.AThe 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 die, die to playEvery day and placeLeave a path of metal acrossA 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
Thrash, thrash, thrash, thrash
Back in the dayIf you weren't thereIt doesn't matter'Cause you wouldn't understand
This is our way of lifeA life that was born freeTo follow orders how to liveWas never meant to be
Ah ah oh oh oh
Hints of thunder, seeds of lightningThe power hits the stageThe music was excitingThe mania raged
Ah ah oh oh oh
We all had a feverOur ears started to ringFeeding this wildfireConsuming everything
Ah ah oh oh oh
Metal's king back thenAnd still is to this dayOthers imitate or challengeBut it never goes away
Ah ah oh oh ohh
From S.F out to Old BritNew York to L.AThe 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 die, die to playEvery day and placeLeave a path of metal acrossA 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 matter'Cause you wouldn't understand
This is our way of lifeA life that was born freeTo follow orders how to liveWas never meant to be
Ah ah oh oh oh
Hints of thunder, seeds of lightningThe power hits the stageThe music was excitingThe mania raged
Ah ah oh oh oh
We all had a feverOur ears started to ringFeeding this wildfireConsuming everything
Ah ah oh oh oh
Metal's king back thenAnd still is to this dayOthers imitate or challengeBut it never goes away
Ah ah oh oh ohh
