Guns N' Roses - Don't Damn Me lyrics
[Guns N' Roses - Don't Damn Me lyrics]
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yay
Don't damn me when I speak a piece of mind
'Cause silence isn't golden when
I'm holding it inside
'Cause I've been where I have been and
I've seen what I have seen
I put the pen to the paper 'cause
It's all a part of me
Be it a song or a casual conversation
To hold my tongue speaks
Of quiet reservations
Your words, once heard
They can place you in a faction
My words may disturb
But at least there's a reaction
Oh yeah, oh, oh yeah
Sometimes I wanna kill, sometimes I wanna die
Sometimes I wanna destroy
Sometimes I wanna cry
Sometimes I could get even
Sometimes I could give up
Sometimes I could give
Sometimes I never give a fuck
It's only for a while, I hope you understand
I never wanted this to happen
Didn't want to be a man
So I hid inside my world
I took what I could find
I cried when I was lonely
I fell down when I was blind
So, don't damn me when I
Speak a piece of mind
'Cause silence isn't golden when
I'm holding it inside
'Cause I've been where I have been and
I've seen what I have seen
I put the pen to the paper 'cause
It's all a part of me
How can I ever satisfy you?
And how can I ever make you see that
Deep inside, we're all somebody
And it don't matter who you, you wanna be?
But now I gotta smile, I hope you comprehend
For, this man can say it happened
'cause this child has been condemned
So I stepped into your world
I kicked you in the mind
And I'm the only witness to
The nature of my crime
But look at what we've done
To the innocent and young
Whoa, listen to who's talking 'cause
We're not the only ones
The trash collected by the eyes
And dumped into the brain
Said, it tears into our conscious
Thoughts, you tell me, who's to blame?
I know you don't wanna hear me cryin'
And I know you don't wanna hear me deny
That your satisfaction lies in your illusion
But your delusions are yours, and not mine
We take for granted, we know the whole story
We judge a book by it's cover
And read what we want between selected lines
Don't hail me and don't idolize the ink
Or I've failed in my intentions
Can you find the missing link?
Your only validation is living your own life
Vicarious existence is a fucking
Waste of time
So I send this song to the offended
I said what I meant and I've never pretended
As so many others do
Intending just to please
If I damned your point of view
Could you turn the other cheek?
Oh
Don't damn me when I speak a piece of mind
'Cause silence isn't golden when
I'm holding it inside
'Cause I've been where I've been and
I've seen what I have seen
I put the pen to the paper 'cause
It's all a part of me
Don't damn me i said, don't damn me
I said, don't hail me ah, don't damn me
Ouh
Smoke 'em if you got 'em
Alright, that sucked
Don't damn me when I speak a piece of mind
'Cause silence isn't golden when
I'm holding it inside
'Cause I've been where I have been and
I've seen what I have seen
I put the pen to the paper 'cause
It's all a part of me
Be it a song or a casual conversation
To hold my tongue speaks
Of quiet reservations
Your words, once heard
They can place you in a faction

Sometimes I wanna destroy

Sometimes I could give
