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.
