MEGADETH - Of Mice And Men lyrics

rate me

The fire burns on<br />

And all that drives me on<br />

Till all is gone except<br />

The simple plans of mice and men<br />

<br />

Back when I was just 17<br />

I thought that I knew everything<br />

I could make it in this scene<br />

To be a rising star that only gleamed<br />

When all the answers disagreed<br />

With the questions held for me<br />

<br />

I was legal now at 21<br />

I knew the way the world should run<br />

My God, just look what I had done<br />

Simply drunk and having fun<br />

Looked for friends but I found none<br />

All alone at 21<br />

<br />

The fire burns on<br />

And **and all that drives me on***<br />

Till all is gone except<br />

The simple plans of mice and men<br />

<br />

At 25 I was suprised<br />

That I was even half alive<br />

Somehow I managed to survive<br />

I found my bodys' doing time<br />

In my back a hundred knives<br />

All from my friends at 25<br />

<br />

And now as Gabriel sounds my warning bell<br />

I'd buy your life if you would sell<br />

**A year or two** if less compelled<br />

So live your life and live it well<br />

There's not much left of me to tell<br />

I just got back up each time I fell<br />

<br />

The fire burns on<br />

And ***and all that drives me on***<br />

Till all is gone except<br />

The simple plans of mice and men<br />

<br />

The fire burns on<br />

And all that drives me on<br />

Till all is gone except<br />

The simple plans of mice and men<br />

<br />

The fire burns on<br />

And ***and all that drives me on***<br />

Till all is gone except<br />

The simple plans of mice and men<br />

<br />

The fire burns on<br />

And ***and all that drives me on***<br />

Till all is gone except<br />

The simple plans of mice and men
