My my, hey hey
Rock 'n' roll is here to stay
It's better to burn out than to fade away
My my, hey hey
Out of the blue
And in to 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 in to 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 'n' roll can never die
There's more to the picture
Than meets the eye
Hey hey, my my
It's better to burn out than to fade away
Rock 'n' roll is here to stay
We're here to stay
Rock 'n' roll is here to stay
It's better to burn out than to fade away
My my, hey hey
Out of the blue
And in to 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 in to 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 'n' roll can never die
There's more to the picture
Than meets the eye
Hey hey, my my
It's better to burn out than to fade away
Rock 'n' roll is here to stay
We're here to stay
