Well I've felt like a King In command of it all And I've been a loser Who can't win at all When things are up I'm a genius When they're down I'm a fool Got to remember This one rule
Chorus:
It's how the dice fall It's how the dice fall Ain't got nothin' to do With what you or I do It's how the dice fall
I heard it from a preacher About destiny And I heard it from a teacher About history How we got to learn From our mistakes They just don't see It's in the hands of fate
So don't even pretend You got it under control 'Cause no one can say How the dice are gonna roll You can play with 'em loaded But it comes back around You think you're on your way up Then you're lyin' face down
If the doors swing open It's so hard to say why If the doors slam shut, Lord Ain't no reason to cry I just keep on workin' Hard just the same One roll of the dice And it's all gonna change
