The Threat (edited Version) Lyrics - Skid Row

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 a target for a 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 wreckin' 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 a mark, you've made a threat to society 

I wasn't put there to be treated 

Like some disease you hoped would go away if left alone 

You can sweep me under the carpet 

But, I'll still infect your need to use me as a steppin' 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 wreckin' 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 a mark, you've made a threat to society 

Look out 

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 wreckin' 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 a mark, you've made a threat to society 

Won't beg, won't bleed 

The end of sacrifice is a threat, threat 

Hard line, you'll see 

Once you've made a mark, you've made a threat to society
