"Roll the Bones" is the title track from Rush's 1991 album of the same name. It continues Rush's rock style that began with 1989's Presto, which reduced the band's usage of keyboards and returned the emphasis to bass and electric guitar.The song follows in the vein of tracks such as "Show Don't Tell" from Presto, and helps to establish what would become Rush's musical style for the 1990s. The lyrics, written by drummer Neil Peart, reflect on taking chances in life, and urging those unsure to "roll the bones," a term used for dice. Additionally, the song has strong atheist and evolutionary themes.
