Roll The Bones Lyrics - 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, 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 to 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? 

Because it happens 

Roll the bones, 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? 

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, 

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 bone 

Because we're here...
