The Threat

Ive 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 theres something you
should realize
Its gonna take more than a break
in the law
To make me smile pretty for the
wreckin ball
Wont beg, wont bleed
The end of sacrifice is a threat
to society
Hard line, youll see
Once youve made a mark, youve
made a threat to society
I wasnt put here to be treated
Like some disease you hoped would go away if left alone
You can sweep me under the carpet
But, Ill still infect your need to use me as a steppin stone
So you think you cut me down to size
Well theres something you
should realize
Its gonna take more than a break
in the law
To make me smile pretty for the
wreckin ball
Wont beg, wont bleed
The end of sacrifice is a threat
to society
Hard line, youll see
Once youve made a mark, youve
made a threat to society
So you think you cut me down to size
Well theres something you
should realize
Its gonna take more than a break
in the law
To make me smile pretty for the
wreckin ball
