respect the real
Jack -- relax. Get busy with the facts. No zodiacs or almanacs, No maniacs in polyester slacks. Just the facts. Gonna kick some gluteus max. Its a parallax -- you dig? You move around The small gets big. its a rig. Its action -- reaction -- Random interaction. So whos afraid Of a little abstraction? Cant get no satisfaction From the facts? You better run, homeboy -- A facts a fact From nome to rome, boy.
Whats the deal? spin the wheel. If the dice are hot -- take a shot. Play your cards. show us what you got -- What youre holding. If the cards are cold, Dont go folding. Lady luck is golden; She favors the bold. thats cold. Stop throwing stones -- The night has a thousand saxophones. So get out there and rock, And roll the bones. Get busy!

"I used to keep a stash of emergency cash inside my promo copy of Roll the Bones because I knew that none of my roommates nor any house guests would ever open it."
I used to keep acid in the first Sodom LP for the same reason. I knew no one would go "hey, let's listen to some Sodom!".

Peart certainly loves his "-tion"s
― Joe, Sunday, 9 December 2007 04:20 (sixteen years ago) link
"-tion"s are a very hot suffix these days among those in the rhyming know.

I love these guys, and I get that the song is meant to be a bit silly, but it's just the worst

Whole album is pretty terrible, with a few exceptions

I like Rush plenty, but no way am I going to try and defend this!

i avoided listening to this song forever because I knew this was in it; finally did. it really ruins an otherwise great song.

Do live recordings of "Roll the Bones" without the rap exist?
― Tomás Piñon (Ryan), Wednesday, 27 May 2015 05:25 (eight years ago) link
Probably not? Here it is in Dallas last week.
