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
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've done for me, girl
Thanks a lot

Come on, get up off your bended knees
You could set your mind at ease
My temperature's running hot
Oh, I've been waiting all night for a bite of what you got

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

Oh, it's hard life

(Damnation) they're puttin' you down
(Damnation) all over town
(Damnation) 'cause you're way outta reach
Living on the street, you gotta practice what you preach

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

(Damnation) 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 dollars in your eye (damnation)
Chasing that pie in the sky (damnation)
Rock 'n' roll damnation
