Biography:
Punk rock band formed in 1989 by former All, DYS and Dag Nasty 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

E B D A
Somewhere a pen is busy with hate tonight
Intro x 1
Jaded eyes and cynics bring me down
Somewhere a kid is playing his heart out tonight
Intro x 1
But he'll get nowhere with the Berkely in crowd
Chorus I geuss
E B E B E B E B E B
Well Put downs are so easy
D A D A D A D A D A
Like a novel without without a soul
E B E B E B E B E B
And every executiontioner wheres a hood
D A D A D A D A D A
When it's time for heads to roll
E B D A
Well They're just like new dictators trying to tell us what to love
Well Their opinion they can take and shove
Intro X 2
Then it goes on
Somewhere young rebels will meet tonight
Somewhere skateboarders and straightedgers will unite
They don't need no magazine that is filled with hate and lies
They get enough from the world around them
They are young but they are wise
But negativity's easy
You just fire and walk away
And it's armchair in general
Who lives to fight another day
Well They're just like new dictators trying to tell us what to love
Well Their opinion they can take and shove
Intro x 1
A D D D D D D D D D D D D D D D D D D D D D D D D D D D D D
Well If this was 1944 they'd be pointing their guns at us
Cause every facist left or right has a fucked up set o' rules
But do they really think kids are such fools?
Or do they even care?
Intro a bunch of times as Dave goes "Somewhere"
Bonus: 500 Miles = E A B
