Lyrics
[Verse 1]
They say that you play too loud
Well, baby, that's tough
They say that you've got too much
Can't get enough
[Verse 2]
They tell you that you look a fool
Uh, baby, I'm a fool for you
They say that your mind's diseased
Shake ya stuff
[Verse 3]
And it's a rock 'n' roll damnation
Ma's own whippin' boy
Rock 'n' roll damnation
Take a chance while you've still got the choice
[Verse 4]
You say that you want respect
Honey, for what?
For everything that you've done for me
Well, uh, thanks a lot
[Verse 5]
Come on, get up off your bended knees
You could set your mind at ease
My temperture's running hot
Oh I've been waitin' all night for a bite of what you've got
[Verse 6]
And it's a rock 'n' roll damnation
Ma's own whippin' boy
Rock 'n' roll damnation
Take a chance while you've still got the choice
[Verse 7]
Oh, it's a hard life
[Verse 8]
(Damnation) They're puttin' you down
(Damnation) All over town
(Damnation) 'Cause you're way outta reach
Livin' on the street, you gotta practice what you preach
[Verse 9]
And it's a rock 'n' roll damnation
Ma's own whippin' boy
Rock 'n' roll damnation
Take a chance while you've still got the choice
[Verse 10]
(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've got dollars in your eyes
(Damnation) Always chasin' that pie in the sky
Damnation, rock 'n' roll damnation
