Down By Law
(album: All Scratched Up)

combat boots and a scratched up record
signed by the hero of long ago
a pair of vans and some torn up blue jeans
this is his world, that´s what he knows
he´s gonna find a girl who thinks like he does
gonna grow older but never old
heard his first punk song when he was 16
minor threat I think it was
24 now - hates his job
used to know why - now it´s just because
skates a lot - he likes the older wheels
big and green with independent trucks
had a girlfriend, they broke up last week
she said his friends were useless fucks
he´s gonna find a girl who thinks like he does
gonna grow older but never old
he´s following a different drum
for him these are the years of gold
in high school the teachers thought he was stupid
but he got A´s when he wanted to in class
he´s watching out for the football jocks
so far they haven´t kicked his ass
