Sex and drugs rock and roll I gotta die Before I grow old Sex and drugs, rock and roll I gotta die before I grow old I want to be a legend, die at twenty-five You'll be nobody if you stay alive Sex and drugs And rock and roll I'm gonna burn this shit Before I get too old You burned it up, you took it to the limit You looked at life but found fuck-all in it You looked at death, it reeled you in The great seduction, life's ultimate sin The fastest rush, this big taboo nothing ever was too crazy for you Your girlfriend's fucked, you took her to the limit A beautiful head, but fuck-all in it Sex and drugs rock and roll Gonna die Before I grow old Sex and drugs rock and roll I'm gonna die before i grow old You fuelled a media sensation Offered the world an open invitation The crazy gesture, the extra mile You let the whole world watch, you go in style Still copies selling millions each day Your scribbled lyrics are on eBay Teaching all about, 'what-was' in your head How to make money and how to be dead Yeah, yeah, yeah! Where to now, when the press are through? A daughter who barely remembers you A man who's memory gets pushed aside By the next celebrity suicide [heavy guitar feedback] Yeah! Sex and drugs, rock and roll
