I was just a boy when I learned how to play 
Dreaming of stardom and wealth and champagne 
I begged for advice, the skies all turned red 
The devil appeared and here's what he said 
The planets are shifting beyond my control 
You ain't got the blue and you ain't got no soul 
And you're not the one who can save rock n roll 

Now that I'm old, I'm [bad word] and I'm broke 
I sold my guitar for a gram of bad coke 
I begged for forgiveness, the devil appeared 
He sat down beside me and said in my ear 
The planets are shifting beyond my control 
I'll give you the blues in exchange for your soul 
And you may be the the one who can save rock n roll 

I had to sell my soul to get it right 
I had to sell my soul to get me back into the light 
And all the [bad word] through my bad veins 
And all the darkness in my head is gonna drive me insane 
Satan took me underneath his wing 
He taught me how to play guitar and then he taught me how to sing 
So now I'm living like a superstar 
I've got the drink, the [bad word]  the money, all the women and cars 

I'm living the life yeah I'm out of control 
I'm singing the blues but I ain't got not soul 
And now I'm the one who can save rock n roll 
I'm living the life yeah I'm out of control 
I'm singing the blues but I ain't got not soul 
And now I'm the one who can save rock n roll
