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 & 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!
