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 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 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 crying An I know you don't wanna hear me deny That your satisfaction lies in your illusions But your delusions are yours an 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 attentions can you find the missing link Your only validation is in 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 a mind 'Cause silence isn't golden when I'm holding it inside I've been where I have been An I've seen what I have seen 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

"We take for granted we know the whole story
We judge a book by its cover
and read what we want
Between selected lines"
Those lines are telling us that what we belive might be based on something we don't fully know about, such as based on what the media tells us or wants us to belive.
"Your only validation is in living your own life
Vicarious existence is a fucking waste of time"
This part is also golden. It explains itself, we shouldn't live our life by pleasing others, rather do what pleases us.

"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"
That's one of the best descriptions of human psychology ever written. No one has a static personality, and things affect people in unexpected ways.

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" is very important because it seems like hes saying that modern society blames his kind for the problems of the young

My favourite part in the song is when he says "I put the pen to the paper 'cause it's all a part of me." Writing has become a huge part of my life recently, and I have to agree Axl is one of the BEST songwriters of alltime. So to everyone who actually knows what this song is, good on you. I guess that's how you tell the real fans from the mainstream ones...who only listen to songs like Welcome To The Jungle.

It's about how we should say what we want and we shouldn't care who we offend.
I love this part of the song
"Don't hail me
An don't idolize the ink
Or I've failed in my attentions"
It like him saying don't worship what he says becauase your doing exactly what the song says not to do.

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
