Bruce Springsteen - Roulette текст песни

We left the toys out in the yard

I took my wife and kids and left my home unguarded

We packed what we could into the car

No one here knows how it started

But suddenly everything was just so out of control

Now I want some answers, mister, I need to know

I hear all the talk but I dont know what youre sayin

But I think I got a good idea of the game that youre playin

Roulette, thats the name now

Roulette, thats the game now

Roulette, I dont believe what theyre sayin

Roulette, and everybodys playin

I grew up here on this street where nothin moves, just a strange breeze

In a town full of worthless memories theres a shadow in my backyard

Ive got a house full of things that I cant touch

Well all those things they wont do me much good now

I was a fireman out at rikers, I did my job

Mister, Ive been cheated, I feel like Ive been robbed

Im the big expendable, my lifes just canceled, null and void

But what are you gonna do about your new boy

Roulette, youre playin with my life

Roulette, with my kids and my wife

Roulette, every day the stakes get bigger

Roulette, a different finger on the trigger

Down by the river that talks the night speaks in searchlights

And shortwave radio squawk, the police patrol the streets

But Ive left behind the man I used to be, everything he believed in and all that belonged to me

I tried to find my way out to somewhere where I thought itd be safe

They stopped me at the roadblock they put up on the interstate

They put me in detention but I broke loose and then I ran

They said they want to ask me a few questions but I think they had other plans

Now I dont know who to trust and I dont know what I can believe

They say they want to help me but with the stuff they keep on sayin

I think those guys just wanna keep on playin

Roulette, with my life

Roulette, with my kids and my wife

Roulette, the bullets in the chamber

Roulette, whos the unlucky stranger

Roulette, surprise, youre dead

Roulette, the guns to your head

Roulette, the bullets spinning in the chamber

Roulette, pull the trigger, feel the click

No further danger
