Of Mice and Men

The fire burns on

And all that drives me on

Till all is gone except

The simple plans of mice and men

Back when

I was just seventeen

I thought that

I knew everything

I could make it in this scene

To be a risin' star that only gleamed

When all the answers disagreed

With the questions held for me

I was legal now at twenty-one

I knew the way the world should run

My God, just look what

I had done

Simply drunk and havin' fun

Looked for friends but

I found none

All alone at twenty-one

The fire burns on

And all that drives me on

Till all is gone except

The simple plans of mice and men

The fire burns on

And all that drives me on

Till all is gone except

The simple plans of mice and men

At twenty-five

I was surprised

That I was even half alive

Somehow I managed to survive

I felt my body's doin' time

In my back a hundred knives

All from my friends at twenty-five

And now as

Gabriel sounds my warning bell

I'd buy your life if you'd sell

And you would too if less compelled

So live your life and live it well

Theres not much left of me to tell

I just got back up each time

I fellThe fire burns on

And all that drives me on

Till all is gone except

The simple plans of mice and men

The fire burns on

And all that drives me on

Till all is gone except

The simple plans of mice and men

The fire burns on

And all that drives me on

Till all is gone except

The simple plans of mice and men

The fire burns on

And all that drives me on

Till all is gone except

The simple plans of mice and men

The fire burns on

And all that drives me on

Till all is gone except

The simple plans of mice and men

The fire burns on

And all that drives me on

Till all is gone except

The simple plans of mice and men
