Random I Am Lyrics
Every morning, it's a new surprise
don't know who I am before I roll the dice
the options is the only thing that I decide
you see, I live for the moment know
I never did before, with all and everything I sweap the floor
random I am, I never give a damn about what's gonna happen next
my wife and kids they left me and my job is just a memory
but that's the kind of price you've got to pay
if you're gonna go your own way
salving problems can be done in many ways
I don't care, I just roll the dice
It's o.k, cause I just have to pretend that I am someone else
Get rid of all the habits now that's the plan
come on and try it and you'll feel grand
the first step is the hardest step to take
imagination is the only brake
just roll the dice and everything will turn out nice
you can be who you wanna be
do what you wanna do and do it how you like
this is my way of getting thru the day, but I still don't know
don't know who I am before I roll the dice
the options is the only thing that I decide
you see, I live for the moment know
I never did before, with all and everything I sweap the floor
random I am, I never give a damn about what's gonna happen next
my wife and kids they left me and my job is just a memory
but that's the kind of price you've got to pay
if you're gonna go your own way
salving problems can be done in many ways
It's o.k, cause I just have to pretend that I am someone else
come on and try it and you'll feel grand
the first step is the hardest step to take
imagination is the only brake
just roll the dice and everything will turn out nice
you can be who you wanna be
do what you wanna do and do it how you like
this is my way of getting thru the day, but I still don't know

this song rules, it repeats i dont care a bunch more than these lyrics say, and I dont care, and thats how i get thru the day
well, i dont know if thats it. I mean look at "It's o.k, cause I just have to pretend that I am someone else". Pretending to be someone else isn't something you "just" do, and i don't think these guys would like it either ;) I think they are unsure about this way of living: "but I still don't know"
Im a random guy so i like this song.
None of you know what you're speaking of. Anyway, this band is pretty talented. On the verge of ska in some songs...this song in particular would seem to be about the price one pays to go your own way, but it doesn't always work, and that sometimes the price can be very heavy...sometimes, if you need things to work, you have to play the game.
It's about having a gambling problem.
this song is about Diceliving. A book writern in the earily 70's called "the Dice Man" which is about a guy who starts living his life by the roll of the dice, thats where the line "don't know who I am before I roll the dice, the options is the only thing that I decide". its a really cool book and i was stoked to find the link after loving the song for almost ten years now!!! live by the die!
Supertramp is quite right.

OBVIOSLY its about playing dungeons and dragons! your life sucks, but feels nice to throw a fireballs on a bunch of evil foes.
"the first step is the hardest step to take" is about filling the character sheet.
but then:
"imagination is the only brake just roll the dice and everything will turn out nice you can be who you want to be do what you want to do and do it how you like"
(just kidding! :P)
