Track List and Lyrics
Rock 'n' Roll Damnation(3:37)
- 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
- Baby I'm a fool for you
- They say that your mind's diseased, shaky stuff
- 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
- Thanks a lot
- Get up off your bended knees
- You can set your mind at ease
- My temperature's runnin' hot
- 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
- It's a hard life
- Damnation, they're putting you down
- Damnation, all over town
- Damnation, Cause you're way outta reach
- Living on the street you gotta practice what you preach
- An 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
- It's a rock 'n' roll
- Damnation, Just a bundle of joy
- Damnation, A toy for a boy
