Orange Goblin - Thieving from the House of God

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
