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

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
