           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


Verse 2:Same as Verse 1


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