Guns N' Roses Lyrics

"Don't Damn Me" lyrics



Don't damn me when I speak a piece of my mind
'Cause silence isn't golden when I'm holding it inside 
'Cause I've been where I have been 
An 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 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 

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 

But don't damn me when I speak a piece of my mind 
'Cause silence isn't golden when I'm holding it inside 
'Cause I've been where I have been 
An 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 
An how can I ever make you see 
That, deep inside we're all somebody 
An it don't matter who 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 
An 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' 
An I know you don't wanna hear me deny 
That your satisfaction lies in your ILLUSIONS 
But your delusions are yours and not mine 
We take for granted we know the whole story 
We judge a book by its cover and read what we want 
Between selected lines 

Don't hail me 
An 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 

Don't damn me when I speak a piece of my mind 
'Cause silence isn't golden when I'm holding it inside 
'Cause I've been where I have been 
An 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 
Don't damn me
