Roll the Bones Lyrics
Advisory - the following lyrics contain explicit language:
Well, you can stake that claim
Good work is the key to good fortune
Winners take that praise
Losers seldom take that blameIf they don't take that game
And sometimes the winner takes nothing
We draw our own designs
But fortune has to make that frameWe 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, roll the bonesWhy 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 bonesFaith 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, roll the bonesWhy 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 bonesWhy are we here? Because we're here
Roll the bones, roll the bones
Why does it happen?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, boyWhat'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 foldingLady 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 and roll the bones, get busyRoll the bonesWhy 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 bonesWhy 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 bonesWhy 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 bonesWhy does it happen? Because it happens
Roll the bones, roll the bones
Why are we here? Because we're here
Roll the bones
