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 »

 Become A Better Singer In Only 30 Days, With Easy Video Lessons!

There was a day
When we made promises
And there was a day
When we kept them
We were like one
No one could stop us
We ruled the world
From the throne you made
Promises -- we were young and free
Promises -- how it ought to be
Promises -- but somewhere it changed
Promises -- nothing remains the same
Now when we were tight
You made such promises
The world was alright
And we believed them
But now it's through
And your stock is down
Put out the fuse
The sparks are on the ground
Promises -- we were young and free
Promises -- how it ought to be
Promises -- but somewhere it changed
Promises -- nothing remains the same
Hurrah for yesterday
Long live yesterday
Drink a toast
To yesterday
We got the most
Out of yesterday
We were like one
We were like one
Promises -- we were young and free
Promises -- how it ought to be
Promises -- but somewhere it changed
Promises -- nothing remains the same
Hurrah for yesterday
Long live yesterday
Drink a toast
To yesterday
We got the most
Out of yesterday
