Lyrics
0:17Well I've been convicted with and without reason
0:21Tarred and feathered like a piper on a killing spree
0:25And felt the anger of generations
0:29And been the target for the cheap shots of authority
0:36So you think you cut me down to size
0:40Well there's something you should realize
0:44It's gonna take more than a break in the law
0:48To make me smile pretty for the wrecking ball
0:53Won't beg won't bleed
0:57The end of sacrifice is a threat to society
1:01Hard line you'll see
1:05Once you've made your mark you've made a threat to society
1:18I wasn't put here to be treated
1:22Like some disease you hoped would go away if left alone
1:26Yeah you can sweep me under the carpet
1:30But I'll still infect your need to use me as a stepping stone
1:36So you think you cut me down to size
1:41Well there's something you should realize
1:45It's gonna take more than a break in the law
1:48To make me smile pretty for the wrecking ball
1:54Won't beg won't bleed
1:57The end of sacrifice is a threat to society
2:02Hard line you'll see
2:05Once you've made your mark you've made a threat to society
2:44Oh yeah
2:47So you think you cut me down to size
2:52Well there's something you should realize
2:55It's gonna take more than a break in the law
3:00To make me smile pretty for the wrecking ball
3:05Won't beg won't bleed
3:08The end of sacrifice is a threat to society
3:13Hard line hard line you'll see
3:17Once you've made your mark you've made a threat to society
3:21Won't beg won't beg won't bleed
3:25The end of sacrifice is a threat a threat
3:30Hard line hard line you'll see
3:33Once you've made your mark you've made a threat to society
Well 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 for 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 wrecking 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 your 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 Yeah you can sweep me under the carpet But I'll still infect your need to use me as a stepping 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 wrecking 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 your mark you've made a threat to society Oh yeah 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 wrecking ball Won't beg won't bleed The end of sacrifice is a threat to society Hard line hard line you'll see Once you've made your mark you've made a threat to society Won't beg won't beg won't bleed The end of sacrifice is a threat a threat Hard line hard line you'll see Once you've made your mark you've made a threat to society
