LYRICS
Damien what is in a name did you know yours only means to tame. No your not the devil’s spawn I said that movie, The Omen, got it wrong Damien you are an awesome dude so thats why i wrote this song for you.
CHORUS Damien you are an awesome guy. Damien do you know why? Because you helped to make our movie fly. Damien you are an awesome guy.
Damien is an awesome dude and now i don’t mean to get crude but watch me. When asked about your favorite sport you said you like to hang at the porno court. When asked about your current employment, you said video games bring you lots of enjoyment. Then hobbies came up, there was porno once more I said Damien sounds like a porno whore. I think that you’re a god amongst men, and so i sing my song again, Damien.
CHORUS
Your favorite color PORN Your favorite number PORN Your favorite movie PORN Your favorite president PORN your favorite decade PORN Your favorite record PORN Your favorite food PORN Your favorite mood PORN
