Verse 1:

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

Verse 2:Same as Verse 1

Guitar Solo: A balls out solo by Snake played very clean and fast.
