I've been convicted with and 
Without reason 
Tarred and feathered like a piper on 
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 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 here 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 

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
