Shake the Dice Songtext
von John Brown’s Body

We might take all that you own
So when you say another word we will see through games and lies
So don′t you dare make a sound
The steeper the road you go
Yet we all keep fighting just to play
Betting you can float, but in this slippery town
Just take a step and you'll drown
Same time while you′re belly's full we can't get food enough
We breaking you down
Strong enough to be free from games we play?


Represents the great seal watch as they compromise ideals
They put the guns in the hands of the youth that lost all hope
Set up as the scapegoat so people won′t know the true
With just a slight of the hand the crowd it goes wild
They tighten down our shackles and all we seein′ is smiles
Got addicted to games and now they're playing with life
I′m on a world tour with Elras my man
With a Mic in our hands, revealing terrorist plans

You play me too far, now we coming to your own home
To make you give what you owe
You better wait 'til you′re grown
You can't play your card deceiving the crowd, so keep on watching your mouth
Or maybe truth will come out
