Megadeth Lyrics for Song: Back In The Day
 Lyrics for Album: The System Has Failed [2004]
 
 
 
 453>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
 
 
 
 Lie 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
 
 453>
