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
|
|
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
|
|
CHORUS
|
|
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
|
|
