Words by neil peart, music by geddy lee and alex lifeson
Just another hunter, like a wolf in the sun
just another junkie on a scoring run
just another victim of the things he has done
just another day -- in the life of a loaded gun
The odds get even -- you name the game
the odds get even -- the stakes are the same
you bet your life
Just another winner, pours his life down the drain
just another island in a hurricane
just another loser, like a cat in the rain
just another day -- in the path of a speeding train
The odds get even -- you name the game
the odds get even -- the stakes are the same
you bet your life
Anarchist reactionary running-dog revisionist
hindu muslim catholic creation/evolutionist
rational romantic mystic cynical idealist
minimal expressionist post-modern neo-symbolist
Armchair rocket scientist graffiti existentialist
deconstruction primitive performance photo-realist
be-bop or a one-drop or a hip-hop lite-pop-metallist
gold adult contemporary urban country capitalist
Just another gypsy with a plastic guitar
just another dancer with her eyes on the stars
just another dreamer who was going too far
just another drunk -- at the wheel of a stolen car
The odds get even -- you name the game
the odds get even -- the stakes are the same
you bet your life
