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!

Turn on your t.v. now my son 
In north Hollywood I see the guns are blazing 
Well you can't believe it 
But you'd best believe it boy 
This is your u.s.a. today 
Turn up the radio now my son 
A car got jacked in Compton, news at 11 
Just another day in the modern world 
But I still love this land, o.k.? 
Well you can't believe it 
But you'd best believe it boy 
This is your u.s.a. today 
Take a look and you might see too much reality 
You'll cut your mind along the way 
On the pieces of a broken of a broken world today 
See the pretty news announcer, son? 
She looks so good with stories of decay and destruction 
Smiling like it was all a video game 
And every anchor looks the same 
Well you can't believe it 
But you'd best believe it 
This is your u.s.a. today 
Look too hard then you will see too much reality 
You'll cut your mind along the way 
On the pieces of a broken world today 
See the wars so far from here 
Brought into my room so crystal clear 
Words and images like these have got me on my knees 
Turn up your t.v. now my son 
Cause there's nowhere left to hide, nowhere left to run 
Well you can't believe it 
But you'd best believe it 
This is the u.s.a. today
