           Verse 1:
	         D5                                                               
 D   G5   F5
	         Well, I've been convicted with and without reason, 

	       			   G5			   C5 D5
	tarred and feathered like a piper on a killing spree,       and I felt the anger

		      D  G5  F5				C5			       F5
	of generations,            and been a target of the cheap shots of authority


         D5  F5 F#5 G5  F5					       F5  D5  F5  F#5 G5  F5
		
                                               	So you think you cut me down to size
		
									      F5 D5 F5 F#5 G5 D5
				Well there's something you should realize

						F5 D5 F5 F#5 G5 F5 C5
It's gonna take more than a break in the law to make me smile pretty for


        G5	         D5                     C5   			C5    Bb5 		      F5
the wreckin' ball.	       Won't beg,     won't bleed.   The end of sacrifice is a threat to society

D5		C5		    C5   Bb5					     F5
      Hard line, 	      you'll see. Once you've made a mark, you've made a threat to society,

         F5              G5
threat to society
