Lyrics
Wish I was a better person
With more control
Turn the other cheek
When the punch comes, roll
Wish I was a kinder person
Could see the other's pain
Not overreact, never judge
Shrug off the spreadin' stain
But I'm a howler monkey
Moreau's half and half-man
A panther with its tail in a trap
A pumped up pyramid of pulsing glands
I'm damaged, and I like it
It made me what I am
I'm damaged, and I like it
The rest is just a sham
I'm damaged, and I like it
I live for rock n' roll
I'm damaged, and I like it
It thrills me to the soul
Yeah, I told girlfriend I was gonna change
Gonna kick the habit and the taste
Trust me baby, this time it's real
There's a big part of me I've yet to waste
Don't give up baby, don't turn your back
I ain't no wailin' lost cause
I'll toss the pipe and heal the tracks
As long as you don't mind the blood
On my hands, drippin' down my back, that's right
I'm damaged, and I like it
It made me what I am
I'm damaged, and I like it
The rest is just a sham
I'm damaged, and I like it
I live for rock n' roll
I'm damaged, and I like it
It thrills me to the soul
D-A-M-A-G-E-D
(Damaged) is what I am
D-A-M-A-G-E-D
(Damaged) is what I am
D-A-M-A-G-E-D
(Damaged) is what I am
D-A-M-A-G-E-D
What I am
(Damaged) And I like it
I live for rock n’ roll
I'm damaged, and I like it
It thrills me to the soul
I'm damaged, and I like it
It made me what I am
I'm damaged, and I like it
The rest is just a sham
Yeah!
Go!
