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
