text: 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
  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
  Roulette, thats the game now
  Roulette, I dont know what theyre sayin
  Roulette, 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 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
  Well what 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 radios squawk
  The police patrol the streets
  But Ive left behind the man I used to be
  Everything he believed 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
