The fire burns on and on
That drives me on 'til 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


[Solo - Poland]


The fire burns on and on
That drives me on 'til all is gone
Except the simple plans

Of mice and men

The fire burns on and on

That drives me on 'til 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 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


[Solo - Poland]

The fire burns on and on

That drives me on 'til all is gone
Except the simple plans
Of mice and men


[Solo - fills Poland]
[Solo - Mustaine]


The fire burns on and on
That drives me on 'til all is gone

Except the simple plans
Of mice and men


The fire burns on and on
That drives me on 'til all is gone
Except the simple plans

Of mice and men

The fire burns on and on

That drives me on 'til all is gone
Except the simple plans
Of mice and men


The fire burns on and on
That drives me on 'til all is gone

Except the simple plans
Of mice and men


[Solo - fills Poland]
