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 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 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 can never die
There's more to the picture
Than meets the eye
Hey hey, my, my
