| The lyric of Roll The Bones, Rush's song Wellyou 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? Wellwho 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 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 runhomeboy A fact s a fact From Nome to Romeboy. 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 favours 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 Why does it happen? Because it happens Roll the bones
