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
