They say that you play too loud
Well baby that's tough
They say that you got too much
Can't get enough
They tell you that you look a fool
And baby I'm a fool for you

They say that your mind's diseased

Shake your stuff

CHORUS:

And it's a rock 'n' roll damnation

Ma's own whippin' boy

Rock 'n' roll damnation

Take a chance while you still got the choice

You say that you want respect

Honey for what?

For everything that you've done for me

Thanks a lot

Get up off your bended knees

You could set your mind at ease

My temperature's running hot

I've been waiting all night for a bite of what you got

CHORUS

Damnation, they're puttin' you down

Damnation, all over town

Damnation, cause you're way outta reach

Livin' on the streets you gotta practice what you preach

CHORUS

Damnation, left a happy home

Damnation, to live on your own

Damnation, you want to live in sin

Damnation, it's a rock 'n' roll -

Damnation, just a bundle of joy

Damnation, you're a toy for a boy

Damnation, you got dollars in your eye

Damnation, chasin' that pie in the sky

Damnation, rock 'n' roll -

Damnation
