Roll The Bones (Live) lyrics
Songwriters: Lee, Geddy; Lifeson, Alex; Peart, Neil
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, 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 glutens 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 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 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
Roll the bones
Because we're here
