lyrics

Plastic polyhedrons choosing numbers for me
They don’t seem to care that I don’t need a 3

How many misses can you roll in a row?
I have a strong feeling that we’re soon gonna know

I got a good roll that I had to ignore
They wouldn’t let me keep it cuz it rolled on the floor

There’s only one number that I don’t want to roll
But that is just the space where I now have to go

And numbers aren’t required, as you can plainly see
All these blank faces staring up at me

I got a good roll that I had to ignore
They wouldn’t let me keep it cuz it rolled on the floor

I’m shaking’ and I’m blowin’ and
I’m wishin’ and I’m hopin’
Right up until the moment
When I am finally rollin’
I’m trying really hard to roll a natural 20
But of course I roll a 5, cuz the dice hate me

I really need a 6 or an 8 to win this game
But somehow tens keep coming up again and again

I thought we play these games cuz they’re supposed to be fun
But how can I enjoy it when I keep rolling 1?!

I’m shaking’ and I’m blowin’ and
I’m wishin’ and I’m hopin’
Right up until the moment
When I am finally rollin’

I’m trying really hard to roll a natural 20
But of course I roll a 4, cuz the dice hate me

I’m shaking’ and I’m blowin’ and
I’m wishin’ and I’m hopin’
Right up until the moment
When I am finally rollin’

I’m trying really hard to roll a natural 20
But of course I roll a 2, cuz the dice hate me
