Damaged 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 the 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

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!
