Rock ‘N’ Roll Damnation (Live at the Apollo Theatre, Glasgow, Scotland, April 30, 1978)

[Verse 1]

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 you're my disease

Shake your stuff

[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

[Verse 2]

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]

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

[Bridge]

Oh, it's a hard life

(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

[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

[Outro]

(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

(Damnation)

Rock 'n' roll (damnation)
