I think this song is about the contemplation of suicide. It explains that life is consuming and almost arbitrary. the lyrics "No matter what you do, you know The world it keeps on turning" reminds the listener of the insignificance of an individual. I would go as far to say the lyrics were changed from the original; "I roll the dice Just gimmie that dice" were changed from something like "I want to die, just give me that knife". If you read the lyrics taking that into account, there isn't a line that disproves it.
If you listen to 'man of the world' by Fleetwood Mac(Peter Green)it shows a similar but uncensored portrayal of those feelings.

I can tell you with 100% certainty that the lyrics were never "I want to die" etc.
