The Threat

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
