You're Not the One (Who Can Save Rock 'N' Roll)

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
