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.

Mohammad is a little boy 
Growing up in a violent world 
Heard the guns when he was five 
And above the smoke he saw the flag of israel unfurled 
So what is he to think 
And what is he to do? 
Who set the drumbeat that he's marching to? 
Now Kevin he was just a lad 
His brother left never to return 
They said he joined the i.r.a. 
And then they shot him down -- now Kevin burns 
So what is he to think? 
And what is he tot do? 
Who set the drumbeat that Kevin's marching to? 
Cause gunfire means funeral pyres 
And then little boys pick up guns 
Battles rage for blood and country 
And they always will -- yeah they always will 
Until they're home 
Now I am just an American boy 
Only know what I see or read 
I see boys dying for a home 
Dying for a chance to breathe like you and me 
So what are we to think? 
And what are we to do? 
Who set the drumbeat that they're marching to? 
Grab a gun, toy soldiers no home to call your own
