Down by Law

Down by Law is a punk rock band formed in 1989 by former All frontman Dave Smalley, who is the only permanent member. The band has recorded 7 studio albums. They stayed on Epitaph Records until 1998 and have since switched to other labels. Down by Law has never achieved substantial commercial success, but a number of largely popular acts cite them as influential. After several lineup changes, the band went on hiatus from touring and recording in 2003, but resurfaced in 2008 before beginning work on new material and embarking on their first tour in six years in 2009. more »

somewhere a pen is busy with hate tonight 
jaded eyes and cynics bring me down 
somewhere a kid is playing his heart out tonight 
but he'll get nowhere with the Berkeley in-crowd 
well put-downs are so easy 
like a novel without a soul 
and every executioner wears a hood 
when it's time for heads to roll 
well they're just like new dictators 
trying to tell us what to love 
well their opinion they can take and shove 
somewhere young rebels will meet up tonight 
somewhere skateboarders and straightedgers will unite 
they don't need no magazine that's filled with hate and lies 
get enough from the world around them 
they're young but they are wise 
but negativity's easy 
you just fire and walk away 
and it's the armchair general 
who lives to fight another day 
well their opinion they can take and shove 
if this was 1944, they'd be pointing their guns at you 
cause every fascist, left or right, has a fucked-up set of rules 
but do they really think the kids are such fools? 
Or do they even care?
