| 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 |
