I've been convicted with and

without reason

Tarred and feathered like a piper on

a killing spree

And felt the anger of generations

And been the target of the cheap shots

of authority



So you think you cut me down to size

Well there's something you

should realize

It's gonna take more than a break

in the law

To make me smile pretty for the

wreckin' ball



Won't beg, won't bleed

The end of sacrifice is a threat

to society

Hard line, you'll see

Once you've made a mark, you've

made a threat to society



I wasn't put here to be treated

Like some disease you hoped would go

away if left alone

You can sweep me under the carpet

But, I'll still infect your need to use me

as a steppin' stone



So you think you cut me down to size

Well there's something you

should realize

It's gonna take more than a break

in the law

To make me smile pretty for the

wreckin' ball



Won't beg, won't bleed

The end of sacrifice is a threat

to society

Hard line, you'll see

Once you've made a mark, you've

made a threat to society



So you think you cut me down to size

Well there's something you

should realize

It's gonna take more than a break

in the law

To make me smile pretty for the

wreckin' ball
