Back in the Day Lyrics

When the shelter fails to shield
Mass illusion feels to real
Life is losing its appeal
Innocence cannot reveal

But back in the day
A faith we never needed to display
It was more than just a show
I know you know
A common ground, a loyalty,
They way that we were meant to be
You had my back, i had yours
Like a Cosmic Troubadour

Past and future, here and now
In synch with what the law allows
A droplet travels down your brow
The keepers break another vow

But back in the day
We would never have it any other way
We'd work our fingers to the bone
Taking care of our own
Whether together or alone
An undisputed overthrow
With no need to justifyBilly Sheehan - Back in the Day - http://motolyrics.com/billy-sheehan/back-in-the-day-lyrics.html
Always stading by my side
Acting as the chosen ones
Selected by the favorite son
The getters need to get in done
No matter who they take it from

But back in the day
We would pay the price we had to pay
To me it never was too dear
It's worth it just to hear
The cadence guide a thought along
Like the rhythm of a song
Somehow caught in circumstance
All we asked was half a chance

But back in the day
A faith we never needed to display
It was more than just a show
I know you know
A common ground, a loyalty,
They way that we were meant to be
You had my back, i had yours
Like a Cosmic Troubadour

But back in the day...
