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

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 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 and roll can never die

There's more to the picture

Than meets the eye

Hey hey my my
