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?
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 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 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
Why are we here?
Because we're here, roll the bones
Roll the bones
