The Threat

[Verse 1]

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 a target for the cheap shots of authority

[Pre-Chorus]

So you think you cut me down to size?

Well there's somethin' you should realize

It's gonna take more than a break in the law

To make me smile pretty for the wreckin' ball

[Chorus]

Won't beg (Beg), won't bleed

The end of sacrifice is a, a threat to society

Hard line (Line), you'll see

Once you've made your mark, you've made a threat to society

[Verse 2]

I wasn't put here to be treated

Like some disease you hoped would go away if left alone

Yeah, you can sweep me, huh, under the carpet

But I'll still infect your need to use me as a steppin' stone

[Pre-Chorus]

So you think you cut me down to size

Well there's somethin' you should realize

It's gonna take more than a break in the law

To make me smile pretty for the wreckin' ball

[Chorus]

Won't beg (Beg), I won't bleed

The end of sacrifice is a, a threat to society

Hard line (Line), you'll see

Once you've made your mark, you've made a threat to society

Huh

Ow

[Guitar Solo]

(Get out)

(Huh)

(Oh, yeah, huh)

[Pre-Chorus]

So you think you cut me down to size

Well there's somethin' you should realize

It's gonna take more than a break in the law

To make me smile pretty for the wreckin' ball

[Chorus]

Won't beg (Beg), won't bleed

The end of sacrifice is a, a threat to society

Hard line (Hard line), you'll see

Once you've made your mark, you've made a threat to society

Won't beg (Won't beg), won't bleed

The end of sacrifice is a, a threat, a threat

Hard line (Hard line), you'll see

Once you've made your mark, you've made a threat to society
