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

[Verse 1]
Out of the blue and into the black
You pay for this, but they give you that
And once you're gone, you can't come back
When you're out of the blue and into the black

[Verse 2]
The King is gone but he's not forgotten
Is this the story of Johnny Rotten?
It's better to burn out than it is to rust
The king is gone but he's not forgotten

[Outro]
Hey hey, my my
Rock and roll can never die
There's more to the picture
Than meets the eye
