The Threat (Edited Version)

Skid Row

6

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
