Roll The Dice Lyrics

Good Mister O'Loughlin says

"My boy you mustn't have no fear

You've gotta hustle to survive

That you might live to see

A bright career"

"You weren't born to be untrue

Or lead a life so insincere

It's time to put the past behind

And get outta here"

"And though I've seen you fall from grace

I pray you'll never turn to face the wall

Lest you drag a ball and chain

And have no faith at all"

"I see a man fixing to die

Long before his blood runs cool

Are you really such a martyr

Or only just a fool?"

"There's opportunity my friend

You only need to know just where to look

You could be a millionaire

Or you could be another

Lousy cook"

"When I see you on the line

You always seem like you're so shook

And in a world of pawns and kings

You could be a rook"

"And though I've seen you fall from grace

I pray you'll never turn to face the wall

Lest you drag a ball and chain

And have no faith at all"

"I see a man fixing to die

Long before his blood runs cool

Are you really such a martyr

Or only just a fool?"

"You can dream your life away

And wait to find your paradise

Though the world remains indifferent

While you suffer by your

Own device"

"And when your time is through

I bet your heart will be as cold as ice

As we learn to live and die

We roll the dice"

"And though I've seen you fall from grace

I pray you'll never turn to face the wall

Lest you drag a ball and chain

And have no faith at all"

"I see a man fixing to die

Long before his blood runs cool

Are you really such a martyr

Or only just a fool?"
