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 »

Some people might say my life is in a rut,
But I'm quite happy with what I got
People might say that I should strive for more, 
But I'm so happy I can't see the point.

Somethings happening here today
A show of strength with your boy's brigade and, 
I'm so happy and you're so kind
You want more money - of course I don't mind 
To buy nuclear textbooks for atomic crimes

And the public gets what the public wants 
But I want nothing this society's got - 
I'm going underground, (going underground)
Well the brass bands play and feet start to pound 
Going underground, (going underground)
Well let the boys all sing and the boys all shout for tomorrow

Some people might get some pleasure out of hate 
Me, I've enough already on my plate
People might need some tension to relax 
Mem, I'm too busy dodging between the flak

What you see is what you get
You've made your bed, you better lie in it 
You choose your leaders and place your trust
As their lies wash you down and their promises rust 
You'll see kidney machines replaced by rockets and guns

And the public wants what the public gets 
But I don't get what this society wants 
I'm going underground, (going underground)
Well the brass bands play and feet start to pound 
Going underground, (going underground)
Well let the boys all sing and the boys all shout for tomorrow

We talk and talk until my head explodes 
I turn on the news and my body froze 
The braying sheep on my TV screen
Make this boy shout, make this boy scream!

Going underground, I'm going underground!
