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

Solo: Poland

In denim and leather

We were all part of one force

Knocked Rock 'n' Roll on its ass

And put Metal on the course

Higher!

Solo: Poland

Higher!

Solo: Mustaine

Higher!

Solo: Poland

Higher!

Solo: Mustaine

Back in the day

Solo: Mustaine

And you weren't there

Solo: Mustaine

It doesn't mater

Solo: Mustaine

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
