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
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
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
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
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
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 holdin'
If the cards are cold
Don't go foldin'
Lady luck is golden
She favors the bold
That's cold
Stop throwin' stones
The night has a
thousand saxophones
So get out there and rock
and 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
