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 Planets are shifting beyond my control You ain't got the blues and you ain't got much soul You're not the one that can save rock and roll Now that I'm older, 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 to my ear Planets are shifting beyond my control I'll give you the blues in exchange for your soul May be the the one who can save rock and roll ♪ I had to sell my soul to get it right I had to sell my soul to get myself back into the light Now the darkness running through my 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 to sing Now I'm living like a superstar I've got the drink, the drugs, the money, all the women and cars Yeah ♪ I'm living the life, yeah, I'm out of control I'm singing the blues 'cause I ain't got no soul Now I'm the one who will save rock and roll I'm living the life, yeah, I'm out of control I'm singing the blues 'cause I ain't got no soul Now I'm the one who will save rock and roll Yeah
