Who were you when it happened?
Where did you get found?
Were you at the front of the stage?
Or in the underground?
From SSI to Old Bridge?
From Dartmouth to LA?
The world of metal, safe forever!
Back in the day,
[A] [Bb] Well, that was back in the day,
I lived in [Dm] the one cell,
[Bb] It doesn't matter anyway,
Because you [D] wouldn't understand.
We lived to die and die to play,
Everything in place,
We lived a path of metal,
Across the world from state to state.
[Bb] Well, that was back in the day,
[A] I lived in the one cell,
[Bb] It doesn't matter [Am] anyway,
Because you [Em] wouldn't understand.
[C]
[Em] [B] [C]
[Em] Guns and lava,
We were [C] one part, one force,
[E] Now we're working for [Bm] a lot of zaps,
And putting [C] it along the course.
[A] Silence! Silence!

[Ab] Back in the [C] day,
[G] [Ab] You were there,
It doesn't [D] matter,
[Ab] Because [Ab] you wouldn't understand.
[C] This is my way of life,
A life that was born free,
The fire of all this hard to live,
Was never meant to be.
[Eb] Ah!
[Dm] Ah!
[Db]
[C]
Little thunder,
Seas of lightning,
The power is a space,
The music was exciting,
The lady of the night.
[Eb] [Dm] Ah!
[Db]
[C]
I had a fever,
My ears started to ring,
Feeding this wildfire,
Consuming everything.
[Eb] Ah!
[Dm] Ah!
[Db]
[C]
Metals came back then,
And filled it to the space,
Others in my case are challenged,
But I never lose the way.
