Roll the Bones - Rush

Well, you can stake that claim

Good work is the key to good fortune

Winners take that praise

Losers seldom take that blame

If they don’t take that game

And sometimes the winner takes nothing

We draw our own designs

But fortune has to make that frame

We go out in the world and take our chances

Fate is just the weight of circumstances

That’s the way that lady luck dances

Roll the bones

Why are we here?

Because we’re here

Roll the bones

Why does it happen?

Because it happens

Roll the bones

Faith is cold as ice

Why are little ones born only to suffer

For the want of immunity

Or a bowl of rice?

Well, who would hold a price

On the heads of the innocent children

If there’s some immortal power

To control the dice?

We come into the world and take our chances

Fate is just the weight of circumstances

That’s the way that lady luck dances

Roll the bones

Why are we here?

Because we’re here

Roll the bones

Why does it happen?

Because it happens

Roll the bones

Jack, relax

Get busy with the facts

No zodiacs or almanacs

No maniacs in polyester slacks

Just the facts

Gonna kick some gluteus max

It’s a parallax, you dig?

You move around

The small gets big

It’s a rig

It’s action, reaction

Random interaction

So who’s afraid

Of a little abstraction?

Can’t get no satisfaction

From the facts?

You better run, homeboy

A fact’s a fact

From Nome to Rome, boy

What’s the deal?

Spin the wheel

If the dice are hot

Take a shot

Play your cards, show us what you got

What you’re holding

If the cards are cold

Don’t go folding

Lady Luck is golden

She favors the bold that’s cold

Stop throwing stones

The night has a thousand saxophones

So get out there and rock

Roll the bones

Get busy

Roll the bones

Why are we here?

Because we’re here

Roll the bones, roll the bones

Why does it happen?

Because it happens

Roll the bones, roll the bones

Why are we here?

Because we’re here

Roll the bones, roll the bones

Why does it happen?

Because it happens

Roll the bones, roll the bones

Why does it happen?

Because it happens

Roll the bones, roll the bones

Why are we here?

Because we’re here

Roll the bones, roll the bones

Why does it happen?

Because it happens

Roll the bones, roll the bones
