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
