They say that you play too loud
Well, baby, that´s tough
They say that you´ve got too much
Can´t get enough
They tell you that you look a fool
Or maybe I´m a fool for you
State that your mind´s diseased
Shakey stuff

And it´s a rock ´n´ roll damnation
Ma´s own whipping boy
Rock ´n´ roll damnation
Take your chance, while you still got the choice

You say that you want respect
Honey, for what?
For everything that you done for me
Well, uh, thanks a lot
Come on
Get up off your bended knees
You can set your mind at ease
My temperature´s runnin´ hot
Oh, I been waiting all night for a bite of what you got

And it´s a rock ´n´ roll damnation
Ma´s own whipping boy
Rock ´n´ roll damnation
Take a chance, while you still got the choice

Oh, it´s a hard life
(Damnation) They´re putting you down
(Damnation) All over town
(Damnation) ´Cause you´re way out of reach
Livin´ on the street, you got to practice what you preach

[Chorus ]
And it´s a rock ´n´ roll damnation
Ma´s own whipping boy
Rock ´n´ roll damnation
Take your chance, while you still got the choice

[Outro]
(Damnation) You 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 too fond of the joy
(Damnation) You´re a toy for a boy
(Damnation) You got dollars in your eyes
(Damnation) Always chasing the pie in the sky
(Damnation)
Rock ´n´ roll (damnation)
