Damned
AC/DC · Stiff Upper Lip
Or else you'll wind up in the can
No jokes no rights sit tight don't fool around
You are a guest of Uncle Sam
Stand up look right don't slouch and stand at ease
Allow no sex above the knees
When I snap you jump into the master plan
I'll be damned
Well I'll be damned
I'll be damned if I drink or smoke
Damned if I steal your joke
I'll be damned if I go for broke
Damned if I do
Damned if I don't
Don't talk don't fool don't try to mess around
I'll make a monkey outta you
You sign your name right on that dotted line boy
I'll be damned
I'll be damned if I drink or smoke
Damned if I steal your joke
I'll be damned if I go for broke
Damned if I do
And damned if I don't, yeah
Come on
I'll be damned if I drink or smoke
Damned if I steal your joke
I'll be damned if I go for broke
I'm damned if I do
I'm damned if I don't
I'll be damned if I drink or smoke
Damned if I steal your joke
I'll be damned if I go for broke
I'm damned if I do
I'm damned if I don't
I'll be damned
I'll be damned
I'll be damned
I'll be damned
I'll be damned
I'll be damned

Damned stands as a gritty testament to AC/DC's enduring hard rock power during the Stiff Upper Lip era. Released in 2000, the track captures the band's signature high-voltage sound, driven by Angus Young's searing guitar riffs and Brian Johnson's commanding vocals. The song reflects the band's ability to maintain their classic formula while exploring slightly darker thematic territory. As part of an album that marked a return to form for the group, it showcases their consistent delivery of energetic, riff-heavy anthems. The recording highlights the tight interplay between the rhythm section and the lead guitar, creating a driving force that defines their catalogue. This work remains a staple for fans appreciating the raw energy and straightforward songwriting that have characterized the band's extensive discography for decades.
