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 
Into the black
They give you this
But you pay for that
Once you're gone 
You can [bad word] back.
When you're
Out of the blue 
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 [bad word] 
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.
