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 Say that your mind's diseased Shaky stuff
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 done for me Well thanks a lot C'mon, get up off your bended knees You can set your mind at ease My temperature's runnin' hot Oh I been waitin' all night For a bite of what you got
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
Oh it's a hard life
(Damnation), they're putting you down (Damnation), all over town (Damnation), cause you're way outta reach Livin' on the streets you gotta practice what you preach
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
(Damnation), you left a happy home (Damnation), to live on your own (Damnation), you wanna 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 the dollars in your eyes (Damnation), always chasin' that pie in the sky (Damnation), Rock 'n' roll (Damnation)
