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  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?  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    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 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  Why does it happen?  Because it happens  Roll the bones
