They say that you play too loud
They say that you've got too much
They tell you that you look a fool
Or maybe I'm a fool for you
State that your mind's diseased
And it's a rock 'n' roll damnation
Take your chance, while you still got the choice
You say that you want respect
For everything that you done for me
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
Take a chance while you still got the choice
(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
And it's a rock 'n' roll damnation
Take your chance while you still got the choice
(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 a bundle of joy
(Damnation) you're a toy for a boy
(Damnation) you got dollars in your eyes
(Damnation) always chasing the pie in the sky
Rock 'n' roll (damnation)
