The Threat - Skid Row

Ive 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 theres something you

should realize

Its gonna take more than a break

in the law

To make me smile pretty for the

wreckin ball

Wont beg, wont bleed

The end of sacrifice is a threat

to society

Hard line, youll see

Once youve made a mark, youve

made a threat to society

I wasnt put here to be treated

Like some disease you hoped would go away if left alone

You can sweep me under the carpet

But, Ill still infect your need to use me as a steppin stone

So you think you cut me down to size

Well theres something you

should realize

Its gonna take more than a break

in the law

To make me smile pretty for the

wreckin ball

Wont beg, wont bleed

The end of sacrifice is a threat

to society

Hard line, youll see

Once youve made a mark, youve

made a threat to society

So you think you cut me down to size

Well theres something you

should realize

Its gonna take more than a break

in the law

To make me smile pretty for the

wreckin ball
