[Verse 1] 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 dont take that game And sometimes the winner takes nothing We draw our own designs But fortune has to make that frame [Chorus 1] We go out in the world and take our chances Fate is just the weight of circumstances Thats the way that lady luck dances Roll the bones [Chorus 2] Why are we here? Because were here Roll the bones Why does it happen? Because it happens Roll the bones [Verse 2] 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 theres some immortal power To control the dice? [Chorus 1] We come into the world and take our chances Fate is just the weight of circumstances Thats the way that lady luck dances Roll the bones [Chorus 2] Why are we here? Because were here Roll the bones Why does it happen? Because it happens Roll the bones [Verse 3] Jack, relax Get busy with the facts No zodiacs or almanacs No maniacs in polyester slacks Just the facts Gonna kick some gluteus max Its a parallax, you dig? You move around The small gets big Its a rig Its action, reaction Random interaction So whos afraid Of a little abstraction? Cant get no satisfaction From the facts? You better run, homeboy A facts a fact From Nome to Rome, boy [Verse 4] Whats the deal? Spin the wheel If the dice are hot Take a shot Play your cards, show us what you got What youre holding If the cards are cold Dont go folding Lady Luck is golden She favors the bold thats cold Stop throwing stones The night has a thousand saxophones So get out there and rock Roll the bones Get busy [Outro] Roll the bones Why are we here? Because were 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 were 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 were here Roll the bones, roll the bones Why does it happen? Because it happens Roll the bones, roll the bones
