Megadeth - Of Mice And Men - Текст песни

The fire burns on and on 
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 rising star that only gleamed 
But 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 having fun 
Looked for friends, but I found none 
All alone at twenty-one

The fire burns on and on 
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 doing time 
And in my back a hundred knives 
From my friends at twenty-five

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 
There's not much left of me to tell 
I just got back up each time I fell

The fire burns on and on 
That drives me on till all is gone 
Except the simple plans 
Of mice and men

The fire burns on and on 
That drives me on till all is gone 
Except the simple plans 
Of mice and men
