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

Out of the blue
And into the black
You pay for this,
But they give you that
And once you're gone,
You [bad word] back
When you're out of the blue
And into the black.

The king is gone
But he's not forgotten
Is this the story
Of Johnny Rotten?
It's better to burn out [bad word] never sleeps
The king is gone
But he's not forgotten.

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.

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