      A
They say that you play too loud
Well, baby, that's tough
They say that you've got too much
Can't get enough
They tell you that you look a fool
Or maybe I'm a fool for you
State that your mind's diseased
Shakey stuff

Chorus:
            G       D/F#     A
And it's a rock 'n' roll damnation
 G       D/F#      A
Ma's own whipping boy
 G       D/F#     A
Rock 'n' roll damnation
 D            E
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
Well, uh, thanks a lot
Come on
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

Chorus

                    G/A D
Oh, it's a hard life
     G/A             D
(Damnation) They're putting you down
     G/A    D
(Damnation) All over town
     G/A                   D
(Damnation) 'Cause you're way out of reach
 G/A
Livin' on the street,
             D
you got to practice what you preach

Chorus:
And it's a rock 'n' roll damnation
Ma's own whipping boy
Rock 'n' roll damnation
Take a chance, while you still got the choice

     A
(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 too fond of the joy
(Damnation) You're a toy for a boy
(Damnation) You got dollars in your eyes
(Damnation) Always chasing the pie in the sky
(Damnation)
Rock 'n' roll (damnation)
