Play The Roll

I’ve seen good gods up and die, or grow old gracefully.
I’ve paid for some bad advice, and gotten good for free.
I’ve laundered all my money, in the hope that I’d come clean.
I’ve been caught top and bottom, and, one awful time, between.
I’ve squandered time on things I hate and hurt the ones I love.
I’ve pondered death upon the brink, but never got the shove.
I’ve swallowed magic buttons, herbal cures and acid tea.
But life goes on, I don’t know shit, and that’s all right with me.
Play the roll, over under. Play the roll, place your bet.
It’s a sure thing odds’ll get you, but the game ain’t over yet.
Play the roll, watch for snake eyes. Play the roll, press your luck.
When you’re down to your last dollar, hand it over. What’s a buck ?
