The Threat (Edited Version) — текст песни (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

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
