[Intro]
[Dm]
[Verse 1]
[Dm]
I've been convicted with and without reason
[F] [G]
Tarred and feathered like a piper on a killing spree
[Dm]
And felt the anger of generations
[F] [G]
And been the target of the cheap shots of authority
[Dm]
So you think you cut me down to size
[Dm]
Well there's something you should realize
[Dm]
It's gonna take more than a break in the law
[C] [G] [F]
To make me smile pretty for the wreckin' ball
[Chorus 1]
[Dm] [C]
Won't beg, won't bleed
[A#] [F] [G]
The end of sacrifice is a threat to society
[Dm] [C]
Hard line, you'll see
[A#]
Once you've made a mark, you've
[F] [G] [Dm]
made a threat to society
[Verse 2]
[Dm]
I wasn't put here to be treated
[F] [G]
Like some disease you hoped would go away if left alone
[Dm]
You can sweep me under the carpet
[F] [G]
But, I'll still infect your need to use me as a steppin' stone
[Dm]
So you think you cut me down to size
[Dm]
Well there's something you should realize
[Dm]
It's gonna take more than a break in the law
[C] [G] [F]
To make me smile pretty for the wreckin' ball
[Chorus 2]
[Dm] [C]
Won't beg, won't bleed
[A#] [F] [G]
The end of sacrifice is a threat to society
[Dm] [C]
Hard line, you'll see
[A#]
Once you've made a mark, you've
[F] [G] [Dm]
made a threat to society
[Solo]

[Bridge]
[Dm]
So you think you cut me down to size
[Dm]
Well there's something you should realize
[Dm]
It's gonna take more than a break in the law
[C] [G] [F]
To make me smile pretty for the wreckin' ball
[Chorus 3]
[Dm] [C]
Won't beg, won't bleed
[A#] [F] [G]
The end of sacrifice is a threat to society
[Dm] [C]
Hard line, you'll see
[A#]
Once you've made a mark, you've
[F] [G] [Dm]
made a threat to society
[Dm] [C]
Won't beg, won't bleed
[A#] [F] [G]
The end of sacrifice is a threat to society
[Dm] [C]
Hard line, you'll see
[A#]
Once you've made a mark, you've
[F] [G] [Dm]
made a threat to society
