Back In The Day Lyrics - The System Has Failed - Megadeth

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 

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 matter 

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 to this day 

Others imitate or challenge 

But it never goes away 

Oh, oh-oh, oh-oh
