Roll the Bones
Well, you can stake that claimGood work is the key to good fortuneWinners take that praiseLosers seldom take that blameIf they don't take that gameAnd sometimes the winner takes nothingWe draw our own designsBut fortune has to make that frame
We go out in the world and take our chancesFate is just the weight of circumstancesThat's the way that Lady Luck dancesRoll the bonesRoll the bones
Why are we here? - Because we're here!Roll the bones, roll the bonesWhy does it happen? - Because it happens!Roll the bones, roll the bones
Faith is cold as iceWhy are little ones born only to sufferFor the want of immunityOr a bowl of rice?Well, who would hold a priceOn the heads of the innocent childrenIf there's some immortal powerTo control the dice?

Why are we here? - Because we're here!Roll the bones, roll the bonesWhy does it happen? - Because it happens!Roll the bones, roll the bonesWhy are we here? - Because we're here!Roll the bones, roll the bonesWhy does it happen?
Jack - relax, get busy with the factsNo zodiacs or almanacsNo maniacs in polyester slacksJust the facts, gonna kick some gluteus max.It's a parallax - you dig?You move around, the small gets big, it's a rigIt's action - reaction - random interactionSo who's afraid of a little abstraction?Can't get no satisfaction from the facts?You better run, homeboyA fact's a fact from Nome to Rome, boy
What's the deal? Spin the wheelIf the dice are hot - take a shotPlay your cards, show us what you gotWhat you're holdingIf the cards are cold, don't go foldingLady Luck is goldenShe favors the bold, that's coldStop throwing stonesThe night has a thousand saxophonesSo get out there and rockAnd roll the bones - get busy!
