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!
