Lyrics & Translation
English
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 its 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 (traducción LyricVerse Team)
No me condenes cuando digo lo que pienso
Porque el silencio no es oro cuando lo guardo dentro
Porque he estado donde he estado y he visto lo que he visto
Pongo la pluma en el papel porque todo es parte de mí
Sea una canción o una conversación casual
Morderse la lengua habla de reservas silenciosas
Tus palabras, una vez oídas, pueden colocarte en una facción
Mis palabras pueden molestar, pero al menos hay una reacción
Oh sí, oh, oh sí
A veces quiero matar, a veces quiero morir
A veces quiero destruir, a veces quiero llorar
A veces podría vengarme, a veces podría rendirme
A veces podría dar, a veces me importa un carajo
Es solo por un tiempo, espero que entiendas
Nunca quise que esto pasara, no quería ser un hombre
Así que me escondí en mi mundo, tomé lo que pude encontrar
Lloré cuando estaba solo, caí cuando estaba ciego
Así que, no me condenes cuando digo lo que pienso
Porque el silencio no es oro cuando lo guardo dentro
Porque he estado donde he estado y he visto lo que he visto
Pongo la pluma en el papel porque todo es parte de mí
¿Cómo puedo satisfacerte alguna vez?
¿Y cómo puedo hacerte ver que
En el fondo, todos somos alguien
¿Y no importa quién, quién quieres ser?
Pero ahora tengo que sonreír, espero que comprendas
Pues, este hombre puede decir que pasó porque este niño ha sido condenado
Así que entré en tu mundo, te pateé la mente
Y soy el único testigo de la naturaleza de mi crimen
Pero mira lo que hemos hecho a los inocentes y jóvenes
Whoa, escucha quién habla porque no somos los únicos
La basura recogida por los ojos y vertida en el cerebro
Dijo, desgarra nuestros pensamientos conscientes, dime, ¿quién tiene la culpa?
Sé que no quieres oírme llorar
Y sé que no quieres oírme negar
Que tu satisfacción reside en tu ilusión
Pero tus delirios son tuyos, y no míos
Damos por sentado que conocemos toda la historia
Juzgamos un libro por su portada y leemos lo que queremos
Entre líneas seleccionadas
No me aclames y no idolatres la tinta
O he fallado en mis intenciones, ¿puedes encontrar el eslabón perdido?
Tu única validación es vivir tu propia vida
La existencia vicaria es una puta pérdida de tiempo
Así que envío esta canción a los ofendidos
Dije lo que quise decir y nunca fingí
Como tantos otros hacen, con la intención de solo complacer
Si condené tu punto de vista, ¿podrías poner la otra mejilla?
Oh
No me condenes cuando digo lo que pienso
Porque el silencio no es oro cuando lo guardo dentro
Porque he estado donde he estado y he visto lo que he visto
Pongo la pluma en el papel porque todo es parte de mí
No me condenes
Dije, no me condenes
Dije, no me aclames
Ah, no me condenes
Ouh
Fúmalos si los tienes
Bien, eso apestó
