    Sometimes Things Get Better...



    "Roll The Bones"

    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
