Lyrics:

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 17

I thought that I knew everything

I could make it in this scene

To be a rising star that only gleamed

When all the answers disagreed

With the questions held for me



I was legal now at 21

I knew the way the world should run

My God, just look what I had done

Simply drunk and having fun

Looked for friends but I found none

All alone at 21



The fire burns on

and all that drives me on

till all is gone except

the simple plans of mice and men



At 25 I was suprised

That I was even half alive

somehow I managed to survive

I found my bodys' doing time

In my back a hundred knives

All from my friends at 25



And now as Gabriel sounds my warning bell

I'd buy your life if you would sell

**A year or two** 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 fell



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
