Guns N' Roses - 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
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
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
Don't damn me
I said don't damn me
I said don't hail me
Don't damn me

Guns N' Roses Don't Damn Me Comments
Pretended the board my parents used to whip my ass with was my guitar and could perform this whole album on my stage(bed) at the age of 6-8. Great memories. 😂
Love it
Great vocals !!!!
Izzy’s mix is more prominent here, has this song been remixed?
❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
Axles delivery on this one is Fn phenomenal!
I would of committed suicide by 15 if it not of been for gnr
Thank you for delivering us this song!💝
@1:00 is the beast.
If I could pick any song that defined me as a teenager... it's Don't Damn Me. That great beat change moment right around 1:59 makes me smile every time I hear it.
This MAY have been my Favorite on this album, or Garden of Eden.. I speak my mind, and most of my birth family DAMNS ME... and believe me, i put the pencil (or pen to the paper)
Puta música foda
That solo tho!!!
2020 and this song is still an banger top 5 live this tune 💯🔥❤
My national anthem.
AYUDEN A MI HERMANA A CUMPLIR SU SUEÑO 🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻https://www.gofundme.com/f/7usum-ayudenme-a-cumplir-mi-sueno?utm_source=customer&utm_medium=copy_link&utm_campaign=p_cf+share-flow-1
SO FUCKING catchy
What a Classic tune!!!
I talked to axl back in 89 he wrote this song for me
Back to the old days... Underated song as fuck🤘
Great and amazing song.
I listen to this when I'm angry and it always helps me get back to normal!
Guns n roses : les meilleurs
Great song, man
Guns N Roses and heavy metal??? I thought Use Your Illusion would be less heavy than appetite?
One of their best like to play this in my car so loud
One of five best songs from both " Illusion " albums . I think .
My fave slash solo
If human emotion could be converted into electricity, this song could power a few world cities for an entire year.
Show me another guitarist that can make a guitar scream like Slash and I’ll show you a liar.
Love it
Totally gotsa Steve Jones/Sex Pistols Swing until the breakdown. Thats ALL G 'n F'n R
3:23 badassry begins!!
Why don't they play this live??? Axl's lyrics/vocals combined with some of Slash's all-time best riffs. I actually have a demo of this song with Steven Adler on drums!
who doesn't :)
A lot of people don't. LOL
☺♫♥☻
I doubt they could create anything close to this today.
Axl rules, bitches!
This song is absolutely stunningly underrated
What a lyricist....
why they never play it live?
the solo on this one is insane
My kids know that If mom plays this song she is pissed off and you best leave her alone .
Ich liebe dieses Lied....💪
So fucking good. Slash obviously loves Schenker but added his own style. Outstanding!
Slash is my Guitar Hero!
2:00 AMAZING
Best song on either album
Vicarious existence is a fucking waste of time!
SO UNDERRATED!!!!! AMAZING SONG!
for all the kids playing "sweet child o mine" intro all over the place thinking theire badass,try this main riff instead
honestly, this riff (and solo) is the best thing I've learn on the guitar. I just love it
METALHEAD666 the realest comment I’ve seen in while..
I wish I'd seen this comment sooner 😂
You all are soooo fucking boooring with that Underrated this,underrated that,underrated bla-bla,get the fuck out for now and all the times,shut the fuck up with that.
When these guys had they're shit together, they were monsters of rock, the first three albums speak volumes to this ideology. This riff goes down as one of the best along with a few from Angus Young.
Paul Davis
They were the best. And they always will be.
they're shit together?
Essa Eu idolatro !
It's God I was there both tours 🌈
Best gunners song ever.
20 fucking 19
That breakdown. Wow!
Some of the best rifts of all time!
"ive been where ive been and ive seen what ive seen " luv that bit x
Que temon!!!
Olha, na minha opinião, o Slash toca pra caramba, mas essa distorção dele eu acho ridícula.
Os mais variados músicos já elogiaram o timbre característico dele.
Mas eu tenho uma birra com esse timbre dele kkk
@Matheus Costa é Rock cara, não é Metal
@Rogério Farias Verdade!
Olha, na minha opinião, o Slash toca pra caramba, mas essa distorção dele eu acho ridícula.
Great song
Dont play this song while driving... you wil lose youre license ( for a while) and get a ticket.... cause of drive way to fast. 😏😏😏 Greetings from the Netherlands.
Hahaha, speaking from experience I see...
Seriously. LMAO
That face melting riff and guitar solo... Helloo eargasm!!
Look at "reviewers reviews" of appetite 1 and 2. Fucking fools both absolute masterpieces
Aveces la canto cuando conduzco..bellos momentos
Best of the album by far
AXL ROSE THE KING!!!!
AXL ROSE THE GENIUS.
He definitely thought he was. A mad egocentric one at that. I like the guys that hold the guitars in this band.
Do you know who he is
Who do you mean?
Well of course Axl Rose, who is he? Well I'll tell everybody, he is the Monster of rock, every song that GNR ever produced and played was all great!!! He is the King of Rock N Roll 🤘!!!!
Who do you think i mean???
@Debbie Williams Got to agree with you there, I liked almost all the songs.
Chris runyon
Elwood Indiana
So I send this song to the offended
I said what I meant and I've never pretended....
sound good !! 역시 최고
This is one of thier best songs hands down. SOOOOO underrated!!!
First lick of the solo 😎
0:08 I didn't know Spongebob was in Guns N' Roses
I think Axle Rose always wanted to be a punk singer but his voice was too good for that genre so he slipped into heavy metal/hard rock. It really shows in songs like this. Take away Slash's guitars and Axle's vocal range and you have a Bad Religion song.
Who the fuck down voted this???!! Bitch
2:00 EPIC!!
This song is a response to one in a millon crítics.
Want to hear it Live!!!! 🌹
Im only a little Jewish and i know bagels are the most superior bread like substance.

Sometimes I wanna Kill Sometimes I wanna Die, Sometimes I wanna Destroy, Sometimes I wanna cry!
Every human being on the face of the planet has felt like that sometimes.
Sometimes i wanna fuck..
@hugo alvarenga HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA
Thanks for the rehash dummy.
slash rocks!
I am fucking replying my own reply
The main guitar riff is insane! So catchy and energetic. Guitar super-hero stuff!
3:23 Great!
this song keeps stuck in your head
To my great regret, they never play it live
Davide Malagoli Really? Man that‘s a real shame, one of their very best in my opinion
@Castlebell Yeah, one of the only two songs they never played live (the other is Shotgun Blues).
This song is fucking pyrotechnic
Great song, man.😎
Only song they have never played live.
They've never played "Get in the Ring", "Shotgun Blues", or "My World" live either.
Yell 4:26 at someone
