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
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 can't come 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
'Cause rust never sleeps
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.
