| I was just a boy when I learned how to play
|
| Dreaming of stardom and wealth and champagne
|
| I begged for advice, the skies all turned red
|
| The devil appeared and here’s what he said
|
| The planets are shifting beyond my control
|
| You ain’t got the blue and you ain’t got no soul
|
| And you’re not the one who can save rock n roll
|
| Now that I’m old, I’m drunk and I’m broke
|
| I sold my guitar for a gram of bad coke
|
| I begged for forgiveness, the devil appeared
|
| He sat down beside me and said in my ear
|
| The planets are shifting beyond my control
|
| I’ll give you the blues in exchange for your soul
|
| And you may be the the one who can save rock n roll
|
| I had to sell my soul to get it right
|
| I had to sell my soul to get me back into the light
|
| And all the darkness running through my bad veins
|
| And all the darkness in my head is gonna drive me insane
|
| Satan took me underneath his wing
|
| He taught me how to play guitar and then he taught me how to sing
|
| So now I’m living like a superstar
|
| I’ve got the drink, the drugs, the money, all the women and cars
|
| I’m living the life yeah I’m out of control
|
| I’m singing the blues but I ain’t got not soul
|
| And now I’m the one who can save rock n roll
|
| I’m living the life yeah I’m out of control
|
| I’m singing the blues but I ain’t got not soul
|
| And now I’m the one who can save rock n roll |
