Verse 1:
D5
D G5 F5
Well, I've been convicted with and without reason,
G5 C5 D5
tarred and feathered like a piper on a killing spree, and I felt the anger
D G5 F5C5 F5
of generations, and been a target of the cheap shots of authority
D5 F5 F#5 G5 F5 F5 D5 F5 F#5 G5 F5
So you think you cut me down to size
F5 D5 F5 F#5 G5 D5
Well there's something you should realize
F5 D5 F5 F#5 G5 F5 C5
It's gonna take more than a break in the law to make me smile pretty for
G5 D5 C5 C5 Bb5 F5
the wreckin' ball. Won't beg, won't bleed. The end of sacrifice is a threat to society
D5C5 C5 Bb5 F5
Hard line, you'll see. Once you've made a mark, you've made a threat to society,
F5 G5
threat to society
