Back In the day |
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 justify |
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… |
