My my, hey hey
Rock and roll is here to stay
It's better to burn out
Than to fade away
My my, hey hey
Out of the blue
And into the black
They give you this
But you pay for that
And once you're gone
You can never come back
When you're out of the blue
And into the black
The king is gone
But he's not forgotten
This is the story
Of a Johnny Rotten
It's better to burn out
Than it is to rust
The king is gone
But he's not forgotten
Hey hey, my my
Rock and roll will never die
There's more to the picture
Than meets the eye
Hey hey, my my
